Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an additional VA medical opinion to address the Veteran's contentions regarding his cervical spine disorder and exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examiner did not adequately address the Veteran's contention that his cervical spine disorder is related to his duties as a field radio operator or his exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
