The Board has ordered that an appropriate VCAA letter be sent to the veteran in connection with his claim of entitlement to service connection for a urinary tract condition. The case is now REMANDED for further development and readjudication.
The deciding factor: The remand was ordered due to inadequate VCAA notice, as directed in the November 2005 remand.

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.
