Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an additional medical opinion to determine the etiology of the Veteran's back disorder.
The deciding factor: An additional medical opinion is needed due to inadequate previous opinions and gaps in the record regarding the relationship between the Veteran's claimed in-service injury and his current back disorder.
