Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical opinion to address the etiology of the Veteran's sleep apnea, including whether it is related to service or a progression of a pre-existing condition.
The deciding factor: The opinions in the record did not adequately address the Veteran's and her spouse's assertions regarding the onset of symptoms and whether the sleep apnea is a progression of a primary snoring disorder.
