Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the etiology of the condition, including whether it is related to service or conceded multiple TERAs and whether it is caused or aggravated by service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: An inadequate VA examination was provided, necessitating a remand for additional development.
