Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea on a secondary-aggravation basis due to the Veteran's service-connected sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA medical opinion and the November 2023 VA addendum medical opinion provided evidence that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea was at least as likely as not aggravated by her service-connected sinusitis, leading to the grant of service connection on a secondary-aggravation basis.
