Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left hip condition, right shoulder condition, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The November 2022 VA examination reports were found inadequate as they did not address the Veteran's specific contentions regarding the etiology of his conditions related to service or service-connected disabilities.
