Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for a higher disability rating and TDIU due to insufficient evidence on the severity of COPD with obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a pre-decisional duty to assist error warranted a remand for further examination.
