The Board has remanded the case to the RO/AMC for further development and adjudicative action, including addressing the veteran's CUE claim concerning an August 1959 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded due to the failure of the RO/AMC to address the veteran's clear and unmistakable error (CUE) claim in conjunction with the main issue of a compensable evaluation for hydronephrosis.

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.
