Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea, including as secondary to a left shoulder condition, because the Veteran does not have a diagnosis of sleep apnea during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a diagnosed disability and insufficient evidence to warrant service connection.
