Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an adequate VA examination and opinion to address service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and sleep apnea as secondary to that condition.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not providing a Mental Conditions examination, and to obtain a VA opinion with respect to participation in TERA for the sleep apnea claim.
