Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for service connection for a low back condition and right lower extremity radiculopathy, to include as secondary to a chronic low back condition, due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to properly broaden the scope of the claim and obtain an appropriate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's low back disability.
