Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of a neck disorder and left shoulder disorder. The Board found that the VA examinations were inadequate because they relied solely on the absence of documentation in service treatment records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examinations were inadequate because they relied solely on the absence of documentation in service treatment records, which is but one factor for consideration.
