Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea because the Veteran did not have sleep apnea in service and his current diagnosis is not related to service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's July 2008 sleep study showed no evidence of sleep apnea, and his current diagnosis was made 14 years after separation from service.
