Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for sleep disturbances, a rating in excess of 30 percent for right nephrectomy, and special monthly compensation at the housebound rate for further development.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary to ensure an informed decision on the appropriate ratings for kidney impairment and to address whether obesity potentially related to service-connected disabilities served as an intermediate step to the development of sleep apnea.
