Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination and medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's cervical spine disability is caused or aggravated by his service-connected lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional errors arising from VA's duty to assist, specifically the failure to provide a VA examination and medical opinion.
