Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because the VA's medical examination was inadequate. The case will be reviewed again with a new examination.
The deciding factor: The VA's medical opinion did not sufficiently address the evidence regarding the onset and cause of OSA, including any relation to conceded toxic exposure risk activity (TERA).
