Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and asthma, as there was no current diagnosis of these conditions. The claim for an initial compensable rating for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a current diagnosis of the claimed conditions, which is required to establish service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(a).
