Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a lumbar spine condition due to incomplete service records and the need for further development, including obtaining line of duty determinations.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary to clarify the Appellant's status as a Veteran and to obtain evidence regarding his back injury during Reserve or National Guard service.
