Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to correct an error by the AOJ, as a VA examination and medical opinion are needed to determine the nature and etiology of the diagnosed condition.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including the failure to provide a VA examination for the claim.
