Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to schedule a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's low back disability is related to his active service, as new and relevant evidence has been submitted.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred in failing to provide the Veteran with an examination or opinion, necessitating a remand for further development of the record.
