Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a dorsal spine disability to obtain an adequate medical opinion, as the previous opinions were found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous VA medical opinions were deemed inadequate due to their failure to consider relevant evidence and address specific questions regarding the etiology of the Veteran's spine disability.
