Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a more adequate VA examination to determine if the Veteran's back pain is related to service.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinion was deemed inadequate as it did not adequately address the Veteran's in-service and post-service treatment records, as well as his lay statements regarding onset of and ongoing back pain.
