Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new VA examination to address the Veteran's complaints of radiating pain, as the previous examinations were found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the previous examinations are inadequate because they do not address the Veteran's reported radicular symptoms, which are part and parcel of her claim for a higher initial rating.
