Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain an addendum medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is aggravated by his service-connected adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood.
The deciding factor: The current VA opinion did not address the question of secondary service connection based on aggravation, which is necessary for a complete evaluation of the claim.
