Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for lumbar spondylosis due to a need for a VA examination to evaluate the nature and etiology of the condition in relation to a preexisting injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence is debatable as to the etiology of the Veteran's current condition, and there was an error in not providing a VA examination prior to the decision on appeal.
