Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as secondary to service-connected sinusitis and/or unspecified adjustment disorder due to a lack of an opinion on the aggravation prong.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the Veteran's OSA is aggravated by his service-connected conditions.
