Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea, finding that there is no evidence linking the condition to his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's sleep apnea was incurred in or caused by service, and there is no contrary medical opinion of record.
