Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct duty to assist errors, including obtaining an adequate medical opinion and outstanding medical records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors, such as insufficient consideration of lay statements regarding in-service symptoms and inadequate medical opinions addressing the theories of service connection for sleep apnea.
