Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to obtain adequate medical opinions regarding its relationship with toxic exposure risk activities and secondary service connection.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 examiner's opinion was inadequate, and new opinions are needed to address the Veteran's full range of in-service toxic exposures and whether her sleep apnea is related to or aggravated by her service-connected allergic rhinitis.
