The Board remands the claims for a neck and skin disability to correct a duty to assist error, requiring an examination to determine if these conditions are related to service.
The deciding factor: VA must provide a medical examination when there is evidence of a current disability, an in-service injury, some indication that the claimed disability may be associated with the established injury, and insufficient competent evidence for VA to make a decision. The claims will be remanded to schedule such an examination.
