Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The November 2019 VA examination was found inadequate, and an additional medical opinion is needed to address whether the Veteran's preexisting obstructive sleep apnea was aggravated by his active military service.
