Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for a higher rating for thoracolumbar spine disability and for Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) due to incomplete medical examinations and missing information.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions were incomplete, lacking accurate measurements of thoracolumbar spine range of motion during repetitive use or flare-ups.
