Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA medical opinion to address whether the Veteran's current back condition disability is related to his active-duty service, including an in-service injury during boot camp or environmental exposure at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The record does not contain a VA medical opinion addressing the causal relationship between the Veteran's current back condition and his in-service back condition, necessitating a remand for such an opinion.
