Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased disability evaluation for the Veteran's lumbar spine disability to ensure compliance with previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary due to the examiner's inability to provide a thorough review of the Veteran's medical records and history, as required by the June 2024 remand.
