Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and to obtain additional medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The VA examination provided did not adequately address the Veteran's in-service symptoms and the synergistic effect of all toxic exposure risk activities, necessitating a new examination.
