Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error and the need to obtain additional service records.
The deciding factor: The examiner failed to provide an opinion regarding whether the Veteran's sleep apnea was incurred in, or otherwise due to, his service on a direct basis.
