Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for obstructive sleep apnea due to a duty to assist error and the need for additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA medical opinion did not adequately address whether certain conditions aggravated OSA, and there is a potential factual inaccuracy regarding jet fuel exposure affecting sleep disturbances.
