Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain a medical opinion addressing its etiology in relation to active-duty service.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to insufficient evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea in relation to active-duty service, as the February 2024 VA examination did not provide such an opinion.
