Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to a need for an additional medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address in-service symptoms reported by the Veteran, and thus a new opinion is required.
