Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for a left ankle disability and sleep apnea. The Board found that the medical examinations were inadequate and required further opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board found the medical examiners' opinions to be inadequate because they did not consider the Veteran's lay statements regarding his injuries.
