The Board has ordered the case to be remanded for further action, including providing a corrective notice under 38 U.S.C.A. § 5103(a) and 38 C.F.R. § 3.159(b). The veteran is required to provide information about stressors during his service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded due to the need for a corrective notice under the applicable regulations regarding the elements of evidence needed to establish service connection, particularly the verification of inservice stressors.

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.
