Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a back disability is remanded. The Board needs to verify the Veteran's duty status during a specific injury period.
The deciding factor: The precise dates of all periods of active duty for training (ACDUTRA) and inactive duty for training (INACDUTRA) are not available, making it unclear whether the Veteran's June 2015 injury was during a period of ACDUTRA or INACDUTRA.
