Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability and remanded the claims for back, left lower extremity radiculopathy, and right lower extremity radiculopathy disabilities for readjudication with new evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's in-service noise exposure was not sufficient to cause his current bilateral hearing loss disability. New and relevant evidence has been received that warrants readjudication of the back and lower extremity radiculopathy claims.
