Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for cervical and thoracolumbar spine disorders due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations provided were found inadequate as they did not consider all in-service complaints or lay statements regarding continuity of symptomatology, and the opinions given did not address all theories of entitlement.
