Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a back disability to obtain an addendum medical opinion addressing the Veteran's reports of in-service back injuries and post-service continuity of symptoms.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate due to failure to address relevant evidence, including lay statements and a report from the separation examination.
