Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension to ensure that VA provides a TERA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence and pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including not considering secondary theories of entitlement and toxic exposure risk activities under the PACT Act.
