Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to be re-evaluated with a new VA examination due to an incomplete medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA medical opinion was deemed inadequate as it did not provide a direct etiology opinion and lacked supporting rationale, necessitating further development.
