Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of sleep apnea because a VA examination is needed to determine if it's related to service or other service-connected conditions. The Veteran may submit new evidence through a Supplemental Claim.
The deciding factor: A VA examination is necessary to clarify whether the Veteran's diagnosed sleep apnea is related to service.
