Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea to obtain more medical opinions. The decision was based on the need to consider the veteran's toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) and the possibility of a medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illness (MUCMI).
The deciding factor: The Board found the current medical opinions too equivocal and remanded for further evaluation considering TERA and MUCMI.
