Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder, GERD, and obstructive sleep apnea to obtain further evidence through VA examinations. The TDIU claim is also remanded as it is inextricably intertwined with the other claims.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error identified by the lack of medical examination for etiological opinions on the claimed conditions, and because the issues are inextricably intertwined.
