Denied
The Board denied service connection for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis fatty liver, obstructive sleep apnea, and an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for unspecified depressive and anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's conditions were related to his military service or secondary to any service-connected disabilities.
