Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea, finding that there was no evidence of a current diagnosis of OSA or any other type of sleep apnea and that the Veteran failed to appear for a scheduled VA sleep study.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not have a current disability of sleep apnea and that he failed to provide good cause for missing his scheduled VA sleep study, which was necessary to confirm whether he had OSA or another form of sleep apnea.
