Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for an addendum opinion to determine if the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea was aggravated by his service-connected psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinions did not address whether the sleep apnea was aggravated by the service-connected psychiatric disorder, and an addendum is required to provide this information.
