Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a sleep disability, to include sleep apnea, as it requires further development including a VA examination and medical opinion.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error in failing to schedule the Veteran for a VA examination and obtain a medical opinion regarding his claimed sleep disabilities.
