Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matters for appropriate VA examinations to determine the nature and severity of the Veteran's lumbar spine and related radiculopathy disabilities.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 examination did not address flare-ups or consider the ameliorative effects of medications, necessitating a remand.
