Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, sleep apnea, and a headache disorder to correct an error by the AOJ to satisfy its duty to assist the Veteran under 38 U.S.C. §5103A.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's assessments were found inadequate due to omissions regarding current diagnoses and etiology of the claimed conditions.
