Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for service connection for pain and/or numbness in his extremities, to include peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and secondary conditions, due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not clearly attribute the Veteran's symptoms of pain and/or numbness in his extremities to any specific diagnosis/disability, making it impossible for the Board to determine whether service connection is warranted on any theory of entitlement.
