Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for sleep apnea and lumbosacral strain to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions were inadequate as they failed to consider all relevant evidence of record, including service treatment records and the Veteran's lay statements regarding onset and pertinent symptomatology.
