Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as it is not shown to be causally or etiologically related to any disease, injury, or incident during service, or caused or aggravated by service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examiner's opinion was afforded great probative weight as it considered all pertinent evidence of record and provided a complete rationale.
