Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of sleep apnea to obtain a medical opinion regarding its relationship to the Veteran's service-connected sinusitis, rhinitis, and asthma.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence in the record to make an informed decision on the claim, particularly regarding whether the Veteran's sleep apnea is secondary to his service-connected conditions or if it had its onset during service.
