Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea as secondary to bronchial asthma and congestive heart failure, to include as secondary to OSA, due to a need for additional evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding aggravation of the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea by his service-connected bronchial asthma and to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error in evaluating congestive heart failure.
