The Board has remanded the case for further development and readjudication, including providing notice of the denial of service connection for residuals of a neck injury. The issues are inextricably intertwined with the claim of peripheral neuropathy.
The deciding factor: The issue of residuals of a neck injury was not previously addressed and requires additional development before being adjudicated.
