Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of entitlement to service connection for a back disorder due to an insufficient medical opinion that addresses the Veteran's period of ACDUTRA from May 2022 to February 2024.
The deciding factor: The examiner did not address whether the Veteran's back disorder was related to his period of ACDUTRA, which included in-service complaints and injury due to weightlifting.
