Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea due to an inadequate statement of reasons or bases for finding the May 2023 VA examiner's opinion was probative, and to address additional evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to develop an addendum medical opinion that more adequately addresses the evidence concerning nasal congestion and fatigue shortly after separation from service, as well as other concerns raised in the Joint Motion II.
