Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a sleep disorder to be recharacterized and an examination to determine if it is related to service or secondary to a service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as no prior examination was conducted to determine if the Veteran has a diagnosed sleep disorder which may be secondary to his TMJ.
