Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The RO erred by providing inadequate VA medical opinions prior to the rating decision on appeal, failing to address all theories of entitlement to secondary service connection that the record reasonably raised.
