Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a sleep disability, to include narcolepsy; service connection for a right ankle disability; and TDIU due to insufficient evidence in the record.
The deciding factor: Insufficient evidence was provided to establish a nexus between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's active duty service. The AOJ failed to make reasonable efforts to verify the Veteran's reserve service and obtain medical opinions with sufficient information to decide the claims.
