Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's lower back disorder.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error was found, as the Veteran was not afforded a VA examination based on the evidence of record at the time of the October 2022 rating decision.
