Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding it was at least as likely as not caused by the Veteran's service-connected disabilities through an intermediate step of obesity.
The deciding factor: The private evaluation provided by L.B., MPAS, PA-C, established a nexus between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his service-connected disabilities via obesity.
