Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an effective date prior to March 29, 2018, for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The October 2012 rating decision became final because no timely notice of disagreement was received, and there is no evidence of a continuous pursuit of the issue within one year of the issuance of the decision.
