Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as the evidence did not support a finding that it began during active service or was otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is less likely than not caused by the indicated TERAs, and there is no competent evidence supporting a link between the condition and service.
