Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an examination and new opinions to determine if the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is caused or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: Remand was necessary due to a duty to assist error in not providing a medical examination, as well as inadequate secondary service connection opinions.
