Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of sleep apnea to obtain additional evidence, including a sleep study and relevant medical records.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations obtained prior to the rating decision on appeal are inadequate for consideration of the Veteran's claim and the other evidence of record is insufficient to support the Veteran's claim.
