Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain an adequate medical opinion addressing the theories of entitlement.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 and July 2024 VA examiners' opinions are found inadequate due to reliance on inaccurate factual premises, lack of detailed discussion specific to the Veteran's case, and failure to address all relevant theories of entitlement.
