Denied
The Board denied service connection for sleep apnea, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the condition and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was more probative as it attributed the Veteran's sleep apnea to age and obesity rather than any in-service exposure or event.
