Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for a higher rating of lumbar disc disease due to an error in the VA's duty to assist. The case will be reviewed again with additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA did not obtain a complete medical opinion on the severity of the Veteran's condition during flare-ups.
