Denied
The Board denied service connection for a sleep condition, including sleep apnea as secondary to hypertension. The Veteran's service treatment records do not show any reports of sleep difficulties or apnea symptoms, and the Veteran is not service connected for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish an in-service incurrence of sleep apnea or related symptoms, and the Veteran is not service connected for hypertension.
