Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is secondary to her service-connected disabilities, with obesity as an intermediate step.
The deciding factor: There is no adequate opinion of record addressing all raised theories and providing a sufficient reasoned rationale to decide the claim.
