Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea, including as secondary to recurrent sinusitis. The Veteran's case will be reviewed again with new medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that previous medical opinions did not adequately address whether the Veteran's sleep apnea was aggravated by his service-connected recurrent sinusitis.
