Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a lumbar spine condition to the Agency of Original Jurisdiction for additional development, specifically requesting clarification from the examiner regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's diagnosed lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The Board finds less than substantial compliance with the previous remand directives due to unclear medical opinions provided by the examiner.
