Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to schedule a new VA examination to determine if the Veteran has a current lower back disability related to his service.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examination was inadequate as it did not address conflicting lay evidence and failed to clearly establish whether the Veteran had a current disability during the period on appeal.
