Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea and pneumonia, finding no current disability. The claim for Celiac disease was remanded due to unclear evidence regarding its pre-existence and potential aggravation during service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current disability for sleep apnea or pneumonia, while the Celiac disease claim required further clarification on its nature and potential pre-service status.
