Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection of coronary artery disease and obstructive sleep apnea, secondary to PTSD. The Veteran's contention is that his PTSD caused him to become obese which led to these conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions were inadequate due to deficiencies in addressing the Veteran's contentions.
