Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea, to include on a secondary basis, as there is no evidence of a current diagnosis of sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The September 2022 VA examiner determined that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea due to his failure to undergo a scheduled sleep study and lack of other supporting medical evidence.
