Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a low back condition due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate as it did not address potential factors and relied solely on the absence of in-service treatment records.
