Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to ensure a complete medical opinion is obtained, addressing direct and secondary theories of entitlement.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to an inadequate medical opinion on the etiology of the diagnosed condition, including failure to address all theories of entitlement reasonably raised by the record.
