Denied
The Board denied service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as there is no evidence of a nexus between the condition and military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, supported by medical literature, concluded that the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea was less likely than not related to his service, including exposure to airborne hazards during the Gulf War.
