Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to obtain an adequate medical opinion, including nexus opinions for direct and secondary service connection as well as a TERA opinion pursuant to the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to inadequate VA medical opinions regarding the relationship between the Veteran's OSA and his service-connected psychiatric disability, as well as potential toxic exposure in service.
