Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and back pain as there was no probative evidence of a current disability.
The deciding factor: There is no probative or persuasive evidence in the record to support a finding that the Veteran has either sleep apnea or a back disability, and thus service connection cannot be granted on a direct basis.
