Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a thoracolumbar spine disorder. The Veteran will undergo a new VA examination to determine the nature and cause of his condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous VA examination was inadequate and that new and relevant evidence had been presented but not properly adjudicated.
