Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a lumbar spine disorder because new and relevant evidence was presented. The Veteran will receive an examination to determine if the condition is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence, including a March 2024 statement where the Veteran raised a theory of entitlement for the first time, warranted readjudication of the claim.
