Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for further development, including obtaining additional medical opinions to address the nature and etiology of the Veteran's low back condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions were found inadequate due to a lack of consideration of the Veteran's lay statements and specific facts of his case.
