Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to inadequate VA examination opinions.
The deciding factor: The July 2022, December 2022, April 2023, and March 2024 VA examiners failed to provide adequate rationale and failed to provide aggravation and direct service connection opinions, making the opinions inadequate for adjudication purposes.
