Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate VA medical opinions addressing direct and secondary service connection theories, as well as a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding TERA participation.
