Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea as there was no evidence of a current diagnosis and the Veteran's lay statements were not competent to establish a diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability or that his reported symptoms were related to an in-service event, injury, or disease.
