Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected lumbar spine disability to correct a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The January 2022 VA examination report was found inadequate due to conflicting findings and inconsistencies with other evidence of record, necessitating further examination.
