Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to ensure an adequate medical opinion is provided and substantial compliance with previous remand directives is achieved.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate medical evidence addressing the significance of a 1997 service treatment record in relation to the Veteran's later development of sleep apnea, as well as for providing the Veteran and his representative with the qualifications of the examiner from a previous VA examination.
