Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct a duty to assist error and obtain an adequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The private and VA opinions provided were found inadequate, as they failed to adequately address certain aspects of the Veteran's condition or did not provide a clear opinion on aggravation by other service-connected conditions.
