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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have service-connected disabilities, and therefore cannot establish service connection for residuals of bilateral frozen feet, bilateral ankle arthritis, or a left foot disability.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's current foot disability is not related to his active military service, and thus denied his claim for service connection.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected disabilities do not render him unemployable, as his combined disability rating is 50%, which does not meet the criteria for a TDIU based on schedular ratings. The evidence shows he can engage in some form of employment despite his disabilities.
- Remanded (sent back)
The veteran's claim for a total rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities is being remanded for extra-schedular consideration.
