Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, finding no evidence of a nexus between the condition and either in-service toxic exposure or the veteran's service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The medical opinions found that there was no causal relationship between the veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his service or service-connected conditions.
