Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea as the evidence does not support a current diagnosis of sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The October 2022 polysomnography results confirmed that the Veteran is not diagnosed with sleep apnea, and the VA examiner's opinion was deemed more persuasive than the private physician's based on objective medical testing.
