Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension, as secondary to OSA, due to inadequate VA medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided by the VA examiners were found to be inadequate because they did not address certain elements required for a proper determination of service connection on a secondary basis.
