Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as the condition had its onset during active duty service and has continued since then.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reports of symptoms starting during active duty service, along with a statement from his supervisor, were more probative than the VA examiner's opinion based on the lack of in-service treatment records.
