Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for a back disability for a new VA medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA medical opinion was deemed inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's in-service injury or whether his back disability manifested within one year of separation from service.
