Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an adequate examination to determine the nature and likely etiology of the Veteran's OSA, including whether it was caused or aggravated by his service-connected bronchial asthma.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate medical opinion addressing both direct causation and aggravation as required by law.
