Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for back conditions due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA examination is deemed inadequate as it did not provide a thorough explanation linking the Veteran's back conditions to his military service, and thus, further development is required.
