Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for hemochromatosis and sleep apnea for further development, including obtaining additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary as the previous VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate due to its reliance on an invalid standard and the need to address toxic exposure risk activities during service.
