The Board has denied the veteran's claims for increased evaluation and TDIU due to his service-connected cervical disability. The RO is instructed to schedule a new examination to assess the severity of the veteran's cervical spine disorder, including any neurological impairment.
The deciding factor: The current evidence does not provide sufficient clinical data to determine whether or not the veteran's cervical spine disorder is productive of severe limitation of motion or intervertebral disc syndrome.
