Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The examinations and opinions of record are not adequate to decide the claim as they do not address whether the Veteran's OSA was aggravated by her service-connected PTSD or GERD, nor do they address a potential relationship between obesity and the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
