Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding that there is no evidence to support a causal relationship between the condition and his active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no evidence linking the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea to his time in service, considering both direct causation and aggravation theories.
