Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for cervical degenerative anterolisthesis of C4-C5, cervical spondylosis at C5-C6, post cervical fusion, and left and right upper extremity radiculopathy due to an inadequate nexus opinion.
The deciding factor: The previous VA medical opinion was found inadequate because it did not sufficiently explain its reasoning regarding the relationship between the Veteran's current disabilities and his service.
