The Board has remanded the case due to medical questions that cannot be answered by the Board, and a VA physician is needed to provide an opinion on whether the veteran has a chronic genitourinary disorder related to service.
The deciding factor: Medical findings are not clear and require further examination or diagnostic testing to determine if the veteran has a current chronic genitourinary disorder and its relationship to service.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
