Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea as the evidence did not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's current condition and his active service.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA examination report found that there was no evidence of an in-service injury or sleep-related disability, and the examiner opined that the Veteran's sleep apnea was less likely than not incurred in or caused by the claimed in-service injury, event, or illness.
