Denied
The Board denied service connection for anxiety, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), hypertension, and diabetes mellitus as there was no evidence of a current diagnosis or a link to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed conditions began during active service or were otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or illness.
