Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that it was caused by the Veteran's service-connected asthma.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion from J.D., a certified physician's assistant, supported the claim, stating that the Veteran's OSA is as likely secondary to her service-connected asthma.
