Denied
The Board denied service connection for stomach cancer, right shoulder condition, and sleep apnea as there was no evidence of a current disability or an etiological link to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's claimed conditions were related to his military service due to lack of in-service incurrence or diagnosis and absence of medical evidence linking the conditions to service.
