Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of the veteran's back condition is remanded. The Board needs more information to decide if the back condition is related to military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examination did not adequately address the veteran's specific lay reports of chronic back pain and history of back trouble.
