Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the Veteran's symptoms began during his active duty and continued post-service.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible the Veteran's lay statements regarding in-service onset of symptoms and supported these with contemporaneous medical evidence from a VA addendum opinion.
