Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea, both directly and as secondary to a service-connected major depressive disorder. The Veteran's symptoms include snoring, interrupted breathing/apnea, and daytime hypersomnolence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA did not obtain adequate medical opinions or examinations before making its decision.
