Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea. The Veteran's contention that his condition is due to a blow to the face during service will be further evaluated.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not adequately address the Veteran's contention about the cause of his obstructive sleep apnea, leading to a remand for a new medical opinion.
