Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a back condition due to insufficient evidence regarding whether the Veteran's pre-existing back condition was aggravated during his service.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinion was inadequate and contradicted itself, requiring a new opinion to be obtained.
