Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a rating higher than 20 percent for lumbar spine disability due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary because the recent VA examination did not adequately address the Veteran's reported flare-ups and provided insufficient ROM estimates.
