Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to obtain more information about the veteran's sleep apnea and its potential connection to service. The Board needs an addendum opinion from a new examiner.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 examiner's opinion did not address key issues, such as the onset of symptoms during service and the reconciliation of prior medical opinions.
