Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new VA examination and medical opinion to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claim for service connection for scoliosis.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 nexus opinion is not probative due to lack of explanation, while other opinions are inadequate as they do not reconcile with conflicting evidence within the record.
