Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a cervical spine disorder, claimed as broken neck, was dismissed because the claim had already been granted by the agency of original jurisdiction in June 2025.
The deciding factor: There is no longer a specific error of fact or law to be determined since the issue has been fully resolved in favor of the Veteran.
