Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea is remanded due to a need for an additional VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The current OSA disorder was not adequately addressed by the previous VA opinions, as they failed to consider the Veteran's assertions and provide sufficient rationale.
