Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for additional development, including obtaining private treatment records and scheduling VA examinations to assess the severity of the Veteran's disabilities from May 7, 2013, to August 5, 2019.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to errors in the previous Board decision regarding the adequacy of the May 2013 VA back and neck examinations and the retrospective nature of the August 2019 VA medical examinations.
