Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for degenerative joint disease of the neck and back to obtain a new VA examination and opinion addressing whether these disabilities are related to the Veteran's service.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to insufficient evidence in the record, specifically regarding the etiology of the Veteran's degenerative joint diseases of the neck and back.
