Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a cervical spine condition and TDIU due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The August 2025 examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate as it lacked adequate rationale and failed to provide separate causation and aggravation opinions as directed by the Board.
