Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea, finding that the evidence did not support a direct link between the condition and active service or any service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record was against a finding that sleep apnea was directly related to active service or caused by obesity linked to service-connected disabilities.
