Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an effective date prior to September 1, 2018, for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea due to a need for a retrospective opinion regarding the date of onset.
The deciding factor: A retrospective opinion is required to determine whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea developed at any point prior to the September 1, 2018, sleep study.
