Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher rating for sleep disturbance to correct an error in the duty to assist, specifically whether the Veteran's sleep disturbance symptoms are controlled by continuous medication.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations do not address whether the Veteran's sleep disturbance symptoms are controlled by continuous medication, which is relevant to determining if a compensable rating applies.
