Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for type II diabetes mellitus to obtain an adequate medical opinion addressing whether it was caused or aggravated by service-connected conditions including obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, and adjustment disorder with depressed mood.
The deciding factor: The previous opinions were inadequate as they did not fully address the Board's remand directives regarding causation and aggravation of diabetes mellitus by the service-connected conditions.
