Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a low back disability has been remanded. The VA must schedule an examination to determine the nature and cause of the veteran's low back condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reports of post-service back pain and her description of in-service duties met the McLendon standard, requiring a VA examination.
