The Board denied service connection for a back disability, left wrist disability, and sleep apnea as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.

The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record showed no current diagnosis of back and left wrist disabilities during the pendency of the appeal. For sleep apnea, there was no evidence linking it to service or showing continuity of symptoms since separation from service.
