Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea due to a duty-to-assist error, specifically the lack of a current diagnosis through a sleep study.
The deciding factor: The VA failed to provide an adequate examination by not ensuring a sleep study was performed as part of the VA sleep apnea examination.
