Denied
The Board denied service connection for a respiratory disability and remanded the issues of service connection for sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome (RLS), and hand tremors.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence is against a finding that the Veteran has had, at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, a current diagnosis for respiratory disability that is etiologically related to his service, or is otherwise the result of service, to include an undiagnosed illness.
