Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a back disorder to obtain an addendum opinion that adequately addresses the Veteran's lay statements and provides a rationale.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 opinion was found inadequate as it failed to address the Veteran's in-service events and relied on an absence of evidence without considering relevant post-service medical records.
