The deciding factor: The VCAA requires additional evidence and development as well as a new VA medical examination to determine if the veteran currently has active dengue fever or residuals thereof, and whether these conditions are related to service.

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.
