Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of objective sleep apnea to obtain an adequate medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 and February 2024 medical opinions were found inadequate, as they did not address in-service symptomology or the Veteran's reports of in-service exposure, among other issues.
