Denied
The Board denied service connection for lower back sprain and left knee tendonitis, as there was no evidence of a current disability. The claims for right knee tendinitis and sleep apnea were remanded due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: There was no credible evidence supporting the presence of a current disability related to the claimed conditions during or after service.
