Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an addendum opinion regarding whether the Veteran's sleep apnea is aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it only addressed causation and not aggravation, leading to a need for a new addendum opinion.
