Granted
The Board granted service connection for sleep apnea as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected persistent depressive disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's sleep apnea is related to his service-connected persistent depressive disorder, and the Board resolved reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
