Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a spinal condition to obtain an adequate medical opinion that addresses the Veteran's lay statements and symptoms.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's competent lay statements regarding the onset of his back condition during service.
