Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for sleep apnea and a gastrointestinal disorder to obtain addendum opinions, as the previous VA opinion was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinion did not adequately address whether the Veteran's sleep apnea or gastrointestinal disorders were worsened beyond their natural progression by PTSD, and there was no substantial compliance with prior remand directives.
