Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea, finding that the evidence does not support a finding that the condition was incurred in or aggravated by his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners concluded that there is no evidence to support a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea during service and that the Veteran's current condition is more likely related to post-service factors, such as an upper respiratory infection and snoring.
