Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for a new examination to address the adequacy of a previous opinion regarding service connection for a low back disability secondary to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA medical opinion was deemed inadequate due to its failure to account for evidence of gait abnormalities, and thus a remand is required for an adequate new examination.
