Denied
The Board denied service connection for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, obstructive sleep apnea, a left hip condition, and a right hip condition as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were caused by or aggravated by the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner provided negative etiological opinions, stating there was no medical/scientific relation between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's service or service-connected conditions. The onset of the conditions occurred after service, and the evidence did not support a nexus to her service or TERA.
