Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea due to a need for further development of the record, specifically requesting that the Veteran provide authorization for VA to obtain private treatment records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error as relevant, private sleep apnea records may exist but have not been associated with the file.
