Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a cervical spine disability to obtain an addendum medical opinion addressing the Veteran's in-service treatment for pack palsy with residual weakness.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address the favorable finding of the Veteran's in-service treatment for pack palsy with residual weakness.
