Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for a lower back condition, as an adequate medical examination has not been provided.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found to be inadequate due to lack of consideration of the Veteran's lay statements and service treatment records.
