Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's sleep apnea is caused or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD and to consider toxic exposure risk activities under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need for additional evidence through a Compensation and Pension exam due to insufficient medical evidence linking the Veteran's sleep apnea to his service-connected PTSD.
