Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to obtain a new VA opinion that adequately addresses evidence indicating the condition possibly manifested during service.
The deciding factor: The December 2022 VA opinion did not address lay statements from the Veteran and his brother regarding symptoms during service, as required by the Board's previous remand order.
