Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea due to duty-to-assist errors. The Veteran will undergo further development, including obtaining private records and a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary to correct pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors that have yet to be remedied by the agency of original jurisdiction.
