Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a respiratory condition to obtain additional evidence and clarify the Veteran's current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to inadequate medical opinions regarding the Veteran's respiratory condition, which do not address whether it is related to service or secondary to sleep apnea.
