Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding no evidence that it was incurred in or caused by active service and not secondary to his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions provided did not find a causal relationship between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and either active service or his service-connected PTSD.
