Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of sleep apnea to obtain a more comprehensive medical opinion that addresses the Veteran's and other individuals' statements regarding symptoms during service.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 opinions did not substantially comply with the Board's remand directives, as they failed to address specific statements from the Veteran and others regarding in-service symptoms.
