Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that there was no evidence of in-service incurrence or aggravation and no causal relationship between the current condition and service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the claimed condition was less likely than not caused by herbicide exposure, and there was no other evidence of a nexus to service.
