Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sleep apnea to obtain additional evidence and a more thorough medical opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's condition and his military service, including any exposure to ionizing radiation.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an inadequate November 2023 VA examination that lacked sufficient information about the Veteran's toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) during service.
