Denied
The Board denied service connection for a sleep disability and a heart disability, as well as a total disability rating based on individual unemployability prior to July 28, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the current disabilities were related to active military service or any exposures therein, and the Veteran's risk factors for these conditions were more likely than not due to other causes.
