Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea, muscle and joint pain (to include fibromyalgia), anemia, and a bone disorder (to include blunting osteolysis) due to the lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis or a link to service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had sleep apnea at any time during or proximate to the pendency of the claim. Additionally, there was no competent evidence of a current disability relating to these other conditions upon which to predicate a grant of service connection on any basis.
