Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that there was no evidence of onset during or within a year of separation from service and no evidence linking it to any in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found the VA opinions more probative than the private opinion due to their accurate medical history and clear conclusions supported by data.
