Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a back disorder to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including obtaining additional medical evidence and an updated VA examination.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary due to outstanding treatment records and a need for a more thorough medical opinion considering the Veteran's reported symptomatology over time.
