Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for left and right lower extremity radiculopathy, both as direct and secondary to service-connected disabilities. The Board found that additional medical opinions are needed due to shifts in legal standards.
The deciding factor: The Board found the post-remand medical opinions inadequate and required further development prior to adjudication.
