Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection for sleep apnea is remanded due to inadequate evidence and the need for a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA examination report was found to be inadequate, as it did not include a clinical evaluation of the Veteran or an attempt to elicit information from him regarding his claimed condition. Additionally, relevant medical records were not associated with the claims file.
