Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because more evidence is needed to determine if OSA is related to tinnitus or Camp Lejeune exposure.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence was insufficient to determine if OSA is due to an injury, disease, or event in service, or his service-connected tinnitus.
