Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for pneumonia and obstructive sleep apnea, as well as requests for higher ratings for his service-connected GERD and hypertension.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record does not show a current disability related to pneumonia or obstructive sleep apnea. The Veteran's service-connected conditions are manifested by symptoms that do not support the claims for increased ratings.
