Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, chronic right knee pain, and chronic left knee pain to ensure additional development is completed.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary due to deficiencies in the record prior to the decision on appeal, including a need for an addendum opinion regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea condition and a VA examination for his claimed bilateral knee conditions.
