Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an addendum medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's service-connected sinusitis and/or deviated septum aggravate his sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary as the December 2024 medical opinions did not address whether the Veteran's service-connected conditions exacerbate his sleep apnea.
