Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for sleep apnea and diabetes for further development, including obtaining a medical examination and opinion to determine if there is a nexus between the conditions and toxic exposure during service.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to potential toxic exposures as required by the PACT Act and to obtain an appropriate medical opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's sleep apnea and diabetes.
