Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea to obtain new opinions addressing various theories of entitlement, including direct incurrence during service, secondary aggravation by PTSD, and toxic exposure risk activities under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the existing evidence did not adequately address all potential theories of entitlement, necessitating a remand for further evaluation.
