Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for unspecified sleep apnea to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error by obtaining a VA examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary before the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea can be adjudicated due to the lack of medical evidence linking the condition to service or a service-connected disability.
