Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for mixed sleep apnea due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA medical opinion was inadequate as it failed to address the aggravation component and did not consider specific exposures identified in the ILER.
