Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA medical opinion is inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's claims that his sleep disorder and disturbance was caused by an in-service event or injury, and a TERA opinion is also needed for proper determination of entitlement to service connection.
