Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a low back condition to correct a predecisional duty to assist error by failing to obtain an adequate medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to a predecisional duty to assist error, as the VA failed to obtain an adequate medical examination and opinion concerning the Veteran's claimed low back condition.
