Denied
The Board denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obstructive sleep apnea, finding no credible evidence supporting the Veteran's claims.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was given greater weight due to its more probative nature compared to private medical opinions that lacked credibility or rationality.
