The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient verification of the veteran's claimed stressors. The AOJ is instructed to request unit records for the veteran's unit, 154th Transportation Company, for the time period of January through March 1967.
The deciding factor: Verification of the veteran's claimed stressor events is required as they have not been verified yet.

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.
