Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to obtain a more adequate medical opinion, as the current VA opinion is deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The current VA opinion is considered inadequate because it does not address evidence suggesting the Veteran's sleep apnea could have onset during service despite a negative in-service sleep study.
