Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain a more adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA medical opinion did not adequately consider the Veteran's lay reports of symptoms during service, and thus must be corrected on remand.
