Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a back condition to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and to provide an adequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate medical opinion that failed to consider lay assertions of onset and continuity of symptoms, and did not explain the medical significance of post-service complaints.
