Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a higher disability rating for left lower extremity radiculopathy due to an inadequate VA examination report and opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examination report did not provide sufficient detail regarding the severity of the Veteran's left lower extremity radiculopathy without considering the effects of medications, as required by the Board's previous remand directives.
