Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a neck disability to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the Veteran's service-connected back or knee disabilities have aggravated the neck disability.
The deciding factor: The examiners did not address whether the Veteran's service-connected back or knee disabilities aggravated the neck disability, which is required for a complete assessment of secondary service connection.
