Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a separate evaluation of insomnia disorder, as the current examination report does not adequately distinguish between the symptomatology associated with sleep apnea and insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: The examiner's assessment was inadequate because it did not clearly differentiate the symptoms of the two conditions, necessitating further clarification through a new examination.
