Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a neck disability to correct an error by the AOJ and ensure that the Veteran receives a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary because no VA examiner has opined whether the Veteran's claimed neck disability is at least as likely as not caused or aggravated by his military service, and there is insufficient competent medical evidence on file to make a decision on the claim.
