Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for sleep apnea and a rating in excess of 10 percent for coronary artery disease prior to October 16, 2019 and more than 60 percent thereafter due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to obtain non-VA medical treatment records and provide the Veteran with a new VA medical examination addressing the etiology of sleep apnea and its relationship to service-connected conditions.
