The Board has remanded the case for a VA examination to determine whether the veteran has current premature ventricular contractions or chest pain that was incurred in service, and if so, whether it is at least as likely as not (50 percent probability or more) that such disability began in service or is otherwise the result of a disease or injury in service.
The deciding factor: The case needs to be remanded for further examination to determine the current status of the veteran's claimed conditions and their relationship to service.

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.
