The Board has determined that additional development is needed before the issue of a higher rating for the veteran's dermatitis with nervous disorder can be decided. This includes obtaining medical records, conducting further examinations, and determining if separate evaluations are appropriate.
The deciding factor: The initial evaluation was denied, but the veteran argues for a separate evaluation due to his secondary psychiatric condition. The Board finds that additional development is needed to properly assess both conditions.

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.
