Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for an increased rating for a back disability was remanded due to inadequate medical examination and opinion. The Board needs more information to determine the severity of the condition.
The deciding factor: The examiner's findings were inconsistent, lacked a reasoned rationale, and failed to address conflicting medical evidence.
