Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical opinion to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea, including whether it is related to or aggravated by his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The current evidence is inadequate to adjudicate the inquiry on appeal due to speculative nexus opinions.
