Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for a higher rating of the veteran's low back disability because additional medical examinations and opinions are needed.
The deciding factor: The Board found that pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors occurred, requiring further development to ensure an adequate evaluation.
