Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a low back condition to afford the Veteran an examination and obtain a medical opinion.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred as the claim was adjudicated without affording the Veteran a VA examination and a medical opinion regarding his low back condition.
