Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to obtain a more adequate medical opinion regarding its etiology, specifically addressing whether it is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected asthma and if there has been any aggravation.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to an inadequate VA examination that did not address the possibility of aggravation or provide sufficient analysis for the relationship between OSA and the Veteran's service-connected asthma.
