Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased rating of lumbosacral strain to provide the Veteran with a more thorough examination that addresses flare-ups, as required by law.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding the lack of an examination addressing flare-ups during which the Veteran experiences significant functional impairment.
