Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a lumbar strain to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to missing medical opinions on secondary aggravation and MUCMI etiology, as well as inconsistencies in the evidence regarding the Veteran's gait.
