Remanded (sent back)
The Board is remanding the issue of entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to service-connected disabilities due to inadequate medical opinions regarding aggravation.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the previous VA medical opinions were insufficient and did not adequately address whether the Veteran's OSA was aggravated by his service-connected psychiatric condition or diabetes.
