Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and ensure a proper examination is conducted.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea and his military service, including potential toxic exposures, as well as its relation to his service-connected hypertension.
