Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to obtain a more thorough medical opinion, as the current one is deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was not sufficient because it did not adequately consider lay statements from the Veteran and his spouse regarding onset and continuity of symptoms.
