Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral restless leg syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, finding no evidence of an association with the Veteran's in-service toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's disabilities were less likely than not related to his in-service toxic exposure risk activities after considering all applicable military deployments and their combined effect.
