Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, and remanded the claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder, a right shoulder disability, a right knee disability, and headaches due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea was related to service. The Board also found it necessary to obtain additional medical opinions on remand for the other claims.
