Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain an adequate medical opinion addressing the etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinions were found inadequate due to their failure to address the combined effect of toxic exposure risk activities and potential MOS-related exposures, as well as the issue of aggravation related to service-connected PTSD.
