Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a lumbar spine disability has been remanded. The Board will reconsider the evidence and obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was flawed because it did not adequately consider the Veteran's lay statements about the onset and course of his disability.
