The veteran's claims for compensation under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for right arm and left leg injuries are being remanded due to incomplete records and need for further medical evaluation.
The deciding factor: Incomplete records from VA facilities, particularly those related to the July 2000 incident where the veteran sustained a fracture of his left lower extremity. Need for additional medical assessment to determine if VA treatment was careless or negligent in causing an additional disability.

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.
