Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of cervical spine disability due to a need for additional medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions provided were factually inaccurate or did not address the entire record, and the reviewing clinician is advised to provide an opinion on whether the Veteran's diagnosed cervical spine disability was incurred in or related to his active service.
