Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a sleep disorder secondary to service-connected migraine headaches and psychiatric disability for further development, including scheduling a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The April 2021 examiner's opinion was found to be based on an inaccurate factual premise, and there is evidence of non-deployment related exposure consistent with the circumstances of the Veteran's service that necessitates PACT Act development.
