Remanded (sent back)
The appeal regarding entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea is remanded due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the RO made a pre-decisional duty to assist error when it failed to obtain an adequate VA examination and only considered the Veteran's exposure to radiation for presumptive service connection.
