Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea because the VA medical opinion provided was inadequate. The Veteran will receive another medical opinion to address all relevant etiologies, including his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion did not adequately address the Veteran's contentions and evidence of sleep disturbances caused by vivid nightmares.
