Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for service connection of sleep apnea is remanded because the medical evidence was inadequate to make a decision. The Board needs more information to determine if the sleep apnea is related to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical evidence at the time of the AOJ decision was inadequate and there were pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors.
