Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain an addendum opinion that addresses the Veteran's January 2017 service treatment records.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner did not address the January 2017 service treatment records and whether they represent the onset of OSA in service, making the opinion inadequate.
