Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to schedule a VA examination for an opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's sleep apnea, as the previous medical opinion was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinion did not address conflicting medical literature and is therefore inadequate to resolve the issue on appeal.
