Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of sleep apnea because a VA examination was not conducted. The Veteran will undergo an examination to determine if her sleep apnea is related to her military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran should have been afforded a VA examination before the May 2023 rating decision.
