Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for a higher rating of right and left lower extremity lumbar radiculopathy. The VA needs to schedule an examination to determine the current severity of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The appeal was remanded due to conflicting findings in the VA treatment records and the need for updated examinations.
