Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a neck disorder (claimed as cervical/neck strain) for a VA examination to determine its etiology, as it finds that an examination is warranted based on the Veteran's lay statements and evidence of record.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the lack of a VA examination addressing the claimed neck disorder, which the Board deems necessary given the Veteran's lay statements and the evidence available.
