Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and denied increased ratings for TBI, hypertension, PTSD, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current disability or symptoms that would warrant an increase in the ratings for the Veteran's conditions.
