Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a low back disability and right lower extremity sciatic radicular pain due to inadequate medical examinations and opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations and opinions are incomplete and thus inadequate upon which to decide the claims, as they did not consider all pertinent medical records in formulating their conclusions.
