Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to an inadequate medical opinion and a duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions of record are insufficient to decide the claim as they do not adequately address the Veteran's specific case, including his reported symptoms and exposure history.
