Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection, increased ratings, and temporary total disability rating due to hospital treatment in excess of 21 days under 38 C.F.R. § 4.29.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's findings were conflicting, necessitating an addendum opinion, and there was a failure to ensure substantial compliance with previous remand directives regarding the neck and back disabilities.
