Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a VA medical opinion to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's lumbar spine disorder, including its relationship to service or service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions obtained are inadequate as they failed to address pertinent lay and medical evidence regarding the cause of the Veteran's claimed conditions.
