Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection for bilateral pes planus and sleep apnea. The Veteran will undergo a new examination to determine if his conditions worsened during service.
The deciding factor: The VA examination was inadequate because it did not address the Veteran's service-related duties and in-service foot complaints.
