Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a VA examination to determine whether the Veteran has a current disability related to sleep apnea, as his service treatment records reflect symptoms that could be considered functional impairments.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the lack of a definitive diagnosis and to correct pre-decisional duty to assist error.
