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.

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's claims for depression, insomnia, migraine headaches with dizziness, obstructive sleep apnea, left ear hearing loss, seizure disorder, right knee disorder, and low back disorder are all granted. The service connection is presumed based on in-service exposure to tear gas.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Veteran's claim for TDIU due to a single disability was denied as the evidence did not show that he had a single service-connected disability that rendered him unable to work. The issue of an effective date prior to July 15, 2009, for TDIU is dismissed as moot.
