Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for obesity and obstructive sleep apnea, as there was no evidence of a functional impairment of earning capacity due to obesity or a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's claimed conditions resulted in a functional impairment of earning capacity or a current diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.
