Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, hypertensive chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, Type II, and cardiomyopathy as they are inextricably intertwined with each other.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain additional medical opinions addressing the etiology of the Veteran's diagnosed conditions, including whether any service-connected disability has caused or aggravated them.
