Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of sleep apnea to correct errors in assisting the veteran. The Veteran will have another VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found the initial VA examination inadequate because it did not address all relevant factors, including the Veteran's contentions about irregular sleeping and eating habits and the role of obesity.
