Denied
The Board denied the claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II and obstructive sleep apnea as new and relevant evidence was not received to reopen the previously denied claims.
The deciding factor: The additional medical studies submitted did not establish a link between the Veteran's conditions and his military service, including any toxic risk activities.
