Remanded (sent back)
The Board has reopened the claim for service connection for sleep apnea and remanded it for further development, including a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: New evidence was found that relates to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claim, thus allowing the reopening of the previously denied claim.
