Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea, finding no evidence that the condition began during or was related to active service, including exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a nexus between the Veteran's current sleep apnea and his military service, with multiple VA examiners concluding it was less likely than not caused by in-service events or exposures.
