Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct a predecisional duty to assist error, as new and relevant evidence has been received.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions provided are found inadequate due to lack of specific studies relied upon and failure to address aggravation by PTSD.
