Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to obtain an addendum opinion addressing direct service connection and aggravation of the Veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 opinions were found inadequate due to deficiencies in analysis, particularly regarding the Veteran's in-service exposure and post-deployment health issues.
