Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a low back disability due to an inadequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examination was found to be inadequate as it did not consider all relevant diagnoses and relied solely on the absence of contemporaneous records, which is insufficient under VA regulations.
