Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for the Veteran's lumbar spine disability and a TDIU due to an inadequate statement of reasons and bases in its previous decision.
The deciding factor: The Board did not provide adequate reasons and bases for denying increased ratings, necessitating a new examination to determine current severity without medication effects.
