Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct a duty to assist error, including obtaining additional medical evidence and an addendum opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a lack of adequate rationale in the previous VA opinion and failure to obtain relevant VA treatment records constructively received by VA.
