Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and hemorrhoids as they were not shown to be related to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not establish a relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's service, and there is no continuity of symptomatology or other reliable evidence linking them to his military service.
