Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct a duty to assist error regarding an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary as the January 2025 medical opinion did not address all potential in-service exposures, including those from service at Camp Lejeune and aboard an aircraft carrier.
