The Board has remanded the case due to uncertainty regarding the veteran's periods of active military service and a need for further medical opinion on whether the current fungus condition is related to her service.
The deciding factor: The claim cannot be decided without confirmation of the veteran's periods of service and clarification of the relationship between her current condition and her 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.
