Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and a rating in excess of 30 percent for right shoulder impingement to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to address whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus and if it is related to toxic exposure risk activities, as well as to clarify the severity of the right shoulder disability in relation to any medications used.
