Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for prostate cancer and obstructive sleep apnea to schedule VA examinations and obtain medical opinions regarding their etiology, considering toxic exposure during service.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the need for a VA examination and medical opinion on the relationship between the claimed conditions and conceded toxic exposures under the PACT Act.
