Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for lumbosacral strain (back) to obtain private treatment records and an adequate examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is needed due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including inadequate VA examination that failed to address flare-ups and functional impairment during pain.
