With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". of § 3.303(b) regarding the use of or need for continuity of symptomatology as to a service-connection claim and what the relationship of that concept is to the need for medical evidence of a nexus between a current medical condition and the veteran’s service. Until those issues are resolved in Savage, the current opinion should be withheld. In Caluza, the Court reiterated that medical evidence of nexus to service was generally required in order to well ground a service-connection claim. Caluza, supra (citing Grottveit, supra). As the Secretary’s motion indicates, the Court’s opinion in Smith will add confusion to the Court’s easelaw on the question of the nature and quality of the evidence needed to well ground a claim. Compare Tirpak v. Derwinski, 2 Vet.App. 609, 610-11 (1992) (<HOLDING>), and Boeck v. Brown, 6 Vet.App. 14, 16-17
