Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151, for loss of use of the right lower extremity due to the Veteran's anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for additional development.
The deciding factor: The examiner did not provide a clear opinion on whether the Veteran's disability was aggravated by VA care related to cervical spine surgeries performed in December 2012 and February 2013, or if it was an event that was not reasonably foreseeable.
