Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a low back disorder to correct duty to assist errors, as the previous VA examinations and opinions are inadequate.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions of record are inadequate due to lack of sufficient detail and reliance on the absence of in-service evidence without considering lay statements and other relevant factors.
