Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for a cervical spine condition, jaw condition, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as well as for an increased rating for headaches. The Board found pre-decisional errors in assisting the Veteran with his claims.
The deciding factor: The Board identified pre-decisional errors in obtaining necessary medical opinions and evidence, warranting a remand to correct these issues.
