The case is being sent back to the VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Philadelphia for further review of all original records, including copies of selected documents from a folder prepared by the MAS concerning the claim. The veteran's representative has requested that these records be associated with the basic claims folder as part of the appellate record.
The deciding factor: The case is being remanded due to incomplete documentation in the current appellate record and the need for all original records to be reviewed.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
