Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that the condition did not begin in service and was not caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected left knee disability.
The deciding factor: There is no competent evidence to support a finding of direct service connection or secondary service connection for the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea.
