Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for lumbosacral strain status post laminectomy, right lower extremity radiculopathy, sciatic nerve, and a compensable evaluation for urinary incontinence due to missing medical records and an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to obtain outstanding medical records and conduct a thorough VA examination to address the questions presented on appeal.
