Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for further development, including obtaining outstanding medical records and a new VA examination to assess the nature and severity of the Veteran's back disability.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examination report is found to be inadequate due to clear improvement in the Veteran's condition since 2022, which requires further explanation and rationale from the examiner.
