Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial disability rating greater than 10 percent for left lower extremity radiculopathy to ensure an adequate VA examination is obtained.
The deciding factor: Remand necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as the Veteran's symptoms were not adequately addressed in the previous examination.
