Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for service connection for a neck disorder, hypothyroidism, GERD, thyroid cancer, and a left ankle disorder due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as VA failed to provide adequate examinations and opinions regarding the Veteran's claimed disorders.
