Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for higher disability ratings for lumbar spine spondylolisthesis and radiculopathy of both lower extremities due to insufficient examination and evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that additional development should have been performed prior to the issuance of the January 2022 SSOC, and therefore the matters must be remanded to remedy the pre decisional duty to assist errors.
