Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the Veteran's contentions and any additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA opinion was found inadequate due to lack of specified medical literature reviewed and failure to address secondary service connection theory.
