Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for headaches and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as there is evidence suggesting the existence of outstanding private treatment records that may be relevant to the Veteran's claim.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding potential outstanding private treatment records related to headaches and OSA.
