Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to ensure a direct medical opinion is obtained.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an AOJ pre-decisional duty to assist error, as there is no current medical opinion addressing service connection on a direct basis.
