Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for degenerative arthritis of the spine (claimed as back condition) for further development and readjudication.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the Veteran's failure to comply with the Board's previous remand directives, including providing information about health insurance and identifying healthcare providers, and failing to attend a scheduled VA examination without good cause.
