Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy to obtain a new VA examination and medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 and October 2023 VA medical opinions are inadequate, as they do not adequately address the Veteran's reports of wear and tear during military training and as part of her MOS, complaints of lower back pain during service, and in-service pregnancies.
