Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for low back condition and neck/upper back as further development is needed to obtain an adequate VA opinion.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided by the VA examiner were found inadequate due to a lack of medical basis to doubt the Veteran's statements, and thus, an addendum opinion is required.
