Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a back disability and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy to obtain outstanding treatment records from non-VA providers.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not obtaining viewable records of treatment through VA's Community Care Network.
