Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error related to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 VA examiner's opinion is based on an inaccurate factual basis, as it did not adequately address the Veteran's reported symptoms during and after service.
