Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a recurrent sleep disability, including obstructive sleep apnea, for further development and an updated medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The current evidence is insufficient to establish a nexus between the diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea and active service or any service-connected disabilities due to deficiencies in the previous VA examination report.
