Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of diabetes mellitus type II as secondary to insomnia because the VA medical exam did not adequately address potential aggravation.
The deciding factor: The VA medical exam was inadequate because it failed to address whether the Veteran's diabetes could have been aggravated by his service-connected insomnia.
