Denied
The Board denied service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder and obstructive sleep apnea due to the lack of evidence supporting a diagnosis of either condition.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence demonstrating that the Veteran has PTSD or obstructive sleep apnea, nor is there evidence suggesting that such diagnoses are warranted during the pendency of the appeal or recent to the filing of the claim.
