Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an addendum VA medical opinion to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea, considering its potential relationship with her service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: Insufficient evidence exists in the record to make a determination on the claim; therefore, a remand is necessary to obtain additional medical opinions.
