Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension, a right knee disorder, a left knee disorder, a neck disorder, and chronic fatigue. The claims for obstructive sleep apnea, headache disorder, and an acquired psychiatric disorder were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not establish current diagnoses of the claimed conditions during the appeal period, and there is no credible supporting evidence that the in-service stressors occurred or that the Veteran's headaches are related to his service.
