Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy for further development, including a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to the need for additional evidence regarding the severity of the Veteran's bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy and to ensure an adequate statement of reasons or bases for the Board's determination.
