Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for a low back disability for further development, specifically requiring an addendum medical opinion that adequately addresses the Veteran's lay statements and the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The current negative nexus opinion is inadequate due to its conclusory nature and failure to address the Veteran's reported in-service onset and continued symptomatology.
