Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea, osteoarthritis of the left knee, and osteoarthritis of the right knee as there was no credible evidence to support an in-service incurrence or aggravation of any of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record is against the claims and there is no pre-decisional duty to assist error.
