Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea with snoring as it was not shown to be causally or etiologically related to any disease, injury, or incident in service and did not manifest within one year of service discharge. The claims for diabetes mellitus, type II, and hypertension were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence linking the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea with snoring to his military service, including any toxin exposure, and it did not manifest within one year of discharge from service.
