Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a neck disability as the March 2025 VA examination is inadequate and does not address the question of aggravation or adequately review the Veteran's medical history.
The deciding factor: The March 2025 VA examiner did not address the question of aggravation, failed to outline the Veteran's medical history in a meaningful way, and did not discuss the onset of the Veteran's current neck disability in relation to his service-connected back disability.
