Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and service connection for sleep apnea due to an error by the agency of original jurisdiction in satisfying a regulatory duty.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary because the AOJ failed to provide notice of the Veteran's right to a hearing, which prevented him from making a fully informed decision regarding his review options.
