Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for thoracolumbar spine arthritis and related conditions due to insufficient medical evidence. The Veteran will receive a VA examination to explore the nature and etiology of his current thoracolumbar spine disorder.
The deciding factor: The Board found that additional development, including a VA examination, is necessary before the claims can be finally adjudicated.
