The Board has ordered further development due to the need for additional evidence. The case will be returned to the RO for obtaining service medical records and personnel records, as well as a psychiatric examination for dyslexia.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded because new evidence needs to be obtained from the National Personnel Records Center and other appropriate agencies.

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.
