Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for additional development as the prior medical opinion did not address all lay statements and further evidence may be needed to determine if the Veteran's lumbar spine disorder is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The examiner did not address all lay statements referenced in the prior remand, necessitating an additional medical opinion.
