Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of a neck injury to obtain an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The current evidence is insufficient to make a fully-informed decision on the issue, as the previous VA examination's rationale was inadequate and did not provide a reasoned medical explanation connecting the Veteran's current disability to his in-service injury or event.
