Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability and service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions were found to be inadequate as they did not provide a rationale, making them of no probative value.
