Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for SMC at the housebound rate under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s) to correct duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The matter is being remanded due to unaddressed claims and missing evidence regarding the effect of obstructive sleep apnea on employment, as well as to determine if the condition alone entitles the Veteran to a TDIU under 38 C.F.R. § 4.16.
