Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a neck disability, as the VA examinations obtained by the AOJ are inadequate and do not provide an adequate rationale regarding whether the Veteran's neck disability is caused or aggravated by his service-connected back disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate VA opinions that fail to reconcile one another and address secondary service connection adequately.
