Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to schedule a VA examination and determine if it is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected asthma.
The deciding factor: The theory of secondary service connection has been raised due to the Veteran's service-connected asthma, necessitating an examination to address this theory.
