Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain new VA medical opinions addressing direct service connection, secondary causation, toxic exposure risk activities, and secondary aggravation.
The deciding factor: The existing medical opinions are inadequate as they do not address all required elements of a secondary service connection claim or toxic exposures under the PACT Act.
