Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea as there was no evidence of a current disability during or after service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had sleep apnea at any time, and he was not competent to provide a medical diagnosis or opinion regarding its etiology.
