Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a cervical spine condition due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically, failure to obtain a medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as there is competent evidence of a current disability and an indication that it may be associated with active-duty service, but insufficient competent medical evidence exists to make a decision on the claim.
