Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for service connection of a cervical spine disorder is remanded because the VA did not follow proper procedures. The case will be reviewed again.
The deciding factor: The VA Regional Office failed to comply with the Board's prior remand directives, specifically in obtaining an adequate VA examination and opinion that considers the Veteran's lay statements.
