Denied
The Board denied service connection for right knee strain with joint osteoarthritis, left knee strain with joint osteoarthritis, and obstructive sleep apnea as the evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's current knee disabilities or obstructive sleep apnea are related to his in-service complaints, injuries, or exposure to dust and fumes.
