Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for cervical spondylosis with myelopathy (claimed as cervical spine secondary to lumbar spine) due to an inadequate nexus opinion.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 VA cervical spine examiner's opinion is deemed inadequate, and additional development is required to obtain a more thorough medical opinion addressing the issues raised by the Veteran.
