Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an addendum medical opinion to specifically address whether any of the Veteran's back conditions are related to a reported in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinion did not sufficiently address the Board's main inquiry regarding the relationship between the in-service injury and the Veteran's current back conditions.
