Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for a back disability to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the etiology of the appellant's low back disability.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examination was found inadequate due to lack of medical rationale linking the in-service injury to the current disability, and new opinions are needed.
