Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea to obtain a TERA opinion addressing whether the condition was caused by toxic exposures during service, including at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in failing to obtain a TERA opinion that addresses the synergistic combined effect of all presumptive toxic exposures.
