Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection for hypertension, right shoulder disability, and obstructive sleep apnea. The claim for diabetes mellitus was not readjudicated due to lack of new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that no new and relevant evidence had been submitted since the November 2022 rating decision to warrant readjudication of the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus.
