Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right ankle disorder and sleep apnea, finding no evidence of in-service injury or disease related to the right ankle and no current diagnosis of sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is against finding that there was an in-service right ankle injury or disease or that the Veteran has a current disability of sleep apnea at any time during the relevant claim period on appeal.
