Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's OSA began during active service or was caused by his service-connected PTSD, and there was no clear link between his TERA and OSA.
