Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for further development, including obtaining outstanding VA treatment records and an addendum medical opinion regarding the Veteran's claim for a cervical spine disability.
The deciding factor: The January 2023 VA medical opinion is inadequate, and there are pre-decisional duty to assist errors with missing VA treatment records from 1994 to 2001; 2002 to 2005; and 2007 to 2011.
