Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a lower back condition to obtain a medical opinion regarding its relationship to service, as no such opinion is currently of record.
The deciding factor: A fully-informed decision cannot be made without an opinion from a VA examiner regarding whether the Veteran's lower back disability is related to his in-service fall.
