Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea due to an inadequate medical opinion and the need for updated treatment records.
The deciding factor: The opinions obtained by the AOJ were deemed inadequate, particularly regarding the direct service connection theory and the effects of in-service toxic exposure risk activities (TERAs).
