Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of lumbosacral strain to correct a duty to assist error. The Veteran's claim will be reconsidered with new medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that a pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred because the VA examiner did not address the secondary service connection claim.
