The Board denied service connection for a respiratory disorder other than obstructive sleep apnea, finding no evidence of a current disability during the pendency of the claim.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current respiratory disorder other than obstructive sleep apnea, and there was no credible medical evidence to establish a link between any in-service toxic exposures and a respiratory condition.
