Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a neck disability to correct a duty to assist error, including obtaining additional evidence and an addendum opinion.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided by VA were inadequate as they relied on the absence of treatment records without considering the Veteran's competent reports.
