Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a lumbar spine disability to verify the Veteran's periods of ACDUTRA and INACDUTRA and obtain an adequate examination.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary to determine the nature of the Veteran's military service at the time she reported back pain in March 2016, as well as to provide a more accurate medical opinion on the etiology of her lumbar spine disability.
