Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeals for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, right knee, left knee, radiculopathy of the right lower extremity and radiculopathy of the left lower extremity disabilities as new and relevant evidence was not received.
The deciding factor: The newly submitted evidence is cumulative and redundant in nature of the record in May 2019 and July 2021, and does not tend to prove or disprove whether the Veteran's claimed conditions had their onset or were otherwise related to service.
