The veteran seeks compensation under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for urinary incontinence as a result of VA treatment in 1990 and in 1998. The Board has remanded the case to determine if any VA carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or similar instance of fault on the part of the Department caused or permanently increased the severity of his urinary incontinence.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim requires a determination of whether his current urinary incontinence is causally related to VA treatment and carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or similar instance of fault on the part of the Department.

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.
