Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for lumbosacral strain and thoracic spine strain as an adequate medical nexus opinion is not available.
The deciding factor: An inadequate VA examination was provided, and a remand is required to obtain one that adequately addresses the etiology of the Veteran's back conditions.
