Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of a disability rating for a low back disorder and entitlement to TDIU due to non-compliance with previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to substantially comply with the remand directives, including obtaining outstanding medical records and providing a retrospective opinion on the severity of the Veteran's lumbar spine disability.
