Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of a lumbar disorder and cervical disorder. The Board found that the AOJ did not properly assist the veteran in obtaining necessary medical records and examinations.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to obtain relevant medical records and conduct necessary examinations, which is required by law to assist the veteran in prosecuting his claim.
