The Board denied service connection for neuropathy/radiculopathy of the upper and lower extremities and sleep apnea, as there was no evidence to support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had bilateral neuropathy or radiculopathy related to his military service, nor did it indicate he has sleep apnea. The Board found no credible evidence of an in-service occurrence or condition and no indication that the current disability may be related to the in-service event.
