Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for lumbar and cervical spine disabilities due to a need for additional medical opinions that address the Veteran's contentions of continuous symptoms since service.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations did not adequately address the Veteran's complaints of continuous symptoms since service, as required by prior Board remand directives.
