Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to correct duty to assist errors that occurred prior to the February 2020 decision on appeal, specifically for a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence suggests an association between the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and his sleep apnea, necessitating a remand for a VA examination.
