Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for sleep apnea to ensure a complete record and due process, specifically requesting an examination that considers all applicable military deployments and TERAs.
The deciding factor: The previous VA medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not address specific TERAs or provide a rationale related to herbicide agent exposure.
