Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left iliopsoas strain, migraine headaches and variants, and obstructive sleep apnea to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examination reports are inadequate as they do not address whether the Veteran's service-connected conditions caused or aggravated the claimed conditions, nor have adequate opinions been provided regarding direct service connection for the claimed conditions.
