Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a lower back condition, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus due to insufficient evidence regarding their link to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The claims are remanded because an adequate medical opinion linking the conditions to service has not been provided, and there is a need to confirm all service treatment records have been associated with the file.
