Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition, to include PTSD, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to a need for further development of the evidence.
The deciding factor: Further analysis is required regarding the Veteran's psychiatric diagnoses and their relationship to service, as well as whether any adjustment difficulties from military service resulted in cannabis use and delusion disorder, unspecified depressive disorder, or unspecified trauma and stressor-related disorder.
