Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for sleep apnea and shortness of breath with chest pain due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board finds the previous VA examinations inadequate as they lacked detailed rationale and were based on inaccurate factual premises, thus requiring additional evidence and a more thorough examination.
