Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's back condition is related to service, including an injury during basic training.
The deciding factor: A medical examination and opinion are necessary as there is evidence of a current disability, an in-service event, and an indication that the disability may be related to service, but insufficient evidence exists for a decision.
