Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain a medical opinion that complies with the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxins Act of 2022 (PACT Act) and to address a newly raised theory of entitlement.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to insufficient toxic exposure risk activity development and a new theory of entitlement regarding obesity caused by service-connected musculoskeletal disabilities.
