Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to correct an error by the AOJ, as the claim involves secondary service connection theories that have not been addressed by a VA examiner.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to address potential secondary service connection theories involving the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and left knee disability.
