Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus and sleep apnea to obtain a TERA opinion due to the Veteran's participation in a toxic exposure risk activity during his service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations.
The deciding factor: The need for an opinion addressing the toxic exposure is required as per the PACT Act, given the Veteran's military service that constitutes presumptive toxic exposure and his current diagnoses of diabetes mellitus and sleep apnea.
