Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a lumbar disorder to provide the Veteran with an appropriate examination to determine its etiology.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to evidence of currently diagnosed disabilities, in-service events, and indications that the current disability may be associated with the in-service event, without a pre-decisional duty to assist error having been addressed.
