Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding no evidence of a nexus between his current condition and his military service.
The deciding factor: The July 2023 VA examiner opined that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's OSA was incurred in or caused by an in-service injury, event, or illness, and there is no other evidence supporting a connection to service.
