Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The July 2023 VA medical opinion is found to be insufficient as it conflicts with cited studies and fails to adequately address the Veteran's reported symptoms during service.
