Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain a VA medical opinion that addresses all theories of secondary service connection raised by the Veteran.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including inadequate VA medical opinions and failure to provide a TERA examination under the PACT Act.
