Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for back spasms, left rotator cuff condition, and right knee condition to correct duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: A VA examination and medical opinion are required to determine whether the Veteran's claimed conditions had their onset in service or are otherwise related to service due to a lack of evidence at the time of the September 2020 rating decision.
