Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for low back pain to obtain an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The January 2023 examiner's opinion is deemed inadequate due to a lack of explanation and failure to address lay statements, warranting a remand for further evaluation.
