Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for sleep apnea to correct a duty to assist error and obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding secondary aggravation and possible nexus to toxic exposure under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to an inadequate VA examination that did not address both causation and aggravation, as well as potential service connection based on toxic exposure under the PACT Act.
