Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a back condition to schedule an addendum VA opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion was found inadequate as it failed to address the Veteran's lay evidence of an in-service back injury and did not consider all diagnosed conditions since February 2024.
