Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, heart disorder, residuals of stroke, and obstructive sleep apnea to correct duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to missing treatment records and an inadequate medical opinion regarding aggravation of the psychiatric disability by a service-connected disability.
