Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for additional development, specifically to obtain a clarification medical opinion regarding whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is aggravated by service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder.
The deciding factor: The need for a clarifying medical opinion was necessary due to an incomplete initial examination report that did not fully address aggravation of OSA by PTSD.
