Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial compensable disability rating for tension headaches and an initial disability rating in excess of 20 percent for a lumbosacral spine condition to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to missing treatment records after October 3, 2022, and incomplete range of motion testing on the September 2022 VA examination.
