The veteran is seeking compensation benefits under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for the residuals of bladder perforation resulting from VA medical treatment in December 1998. The Board has determined that further development, including a VA examination and compliance with the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000, is required before a decision can be made.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim requires additional evidence and clarification due to changes in the law regarding the duty to assist veterans.

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.
