Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased rating and TDIU to obtain additional evidence regarding the Veteran's cervical spine condition, including whether radiculopathy of the bilateral upper extremity is present.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence is conflicting on whether the Veteran has radiculopathy associated with his service-connected cervical spine disability, necessitating a new examination. Additionally, the claim for TDIU was reasonably raised as part of the increased rating claim.
