Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hypertension and sleep apnea due to the lack of VA examinations or opinions addressing the etiology of these conditions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as there are no VA examinations or opinions to determine the etiology of the Veteran's sleep apnea and hypertension, despite current diagnoses and in-service symptoms.
