Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of sleep apnea to obtain an addendum opinion regarding its relationship with the Veteran's service-connected chronic sinusitis with sinus headache.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion did not provide a sufficient rationale and failed to address aggravation under 38 C.F.R. § 3.310(b).
