Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain an adequate medical opinion, as the previous VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate due to reliance on inaccurate information and failure to address additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate because it did not properly consider all relevant evidence and made unsupported conclusions regarding the etiology of the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea.
