Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for neurogenic bladder to obtain a more adequate medical opinion regarding whether it is proximately due to or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected lumbosacral strain and intervertebral disc syndrome.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 VA medical opinion was insufficient because it did not address whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities aggravated his bladder condition, as required in a secondary service connection medical opinion.
