Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA medical opinion to determine whether the Veteran's obstructive sleep apnea is related to his presumed toxic exposure and Southwest Asia service.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not obtaining a nexus opinion, and to consider theories of entitlement raised by the record.
