Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for muscle spasms and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on a direct basis, as well as remanded the claim for OSA as secondary to his service-connected psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current conditions were related to his active-duty service.
