Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues on appeal, including service connection for cervical disability, right shoulder disability, and right upper extremity neuropathy, as well as a higher rating for PTSD and TDIU. The Veteran's motion to advance the claim due to severe financial hardship was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded because the examiner did not provide opinions on whether the disabilities were aggravated by service-connected conditions or related to service.
