Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a lower back condition to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and obtain additional evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to deficiencies in the medical opinions and failure to obtain records related to the Veteran's Reserve service, as well as providing notice of the right to a pre-decisional hearing.
