Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a back condition because the Veteran was not given a VA examination and there are outstanding medical records to be obtained.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the failure to schedule an examination and obtain a medical opinion constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
