The Board has remanded the case for further evaluation to determine if the veteran's current 'heat induced motility disorder' is related to his heat exhaustion in service and whether he has any residual disability as a result.
The deciding factor: There is no medical opinion addressing whether the veteran's current condition is related to his heat exhaustion in service or whether it constitutes a residual disability.

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.
