The veteran's appeal is being remanded for further development, including the provision of VA examinations and consideration of her service-connected disabilities in determining whether she is unemployable due to those conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision is being remanded because additional evidence needs to be considered and a comprehensive examination is required to assess the impact of the veteran's service-connected disabilities on her ability to work.

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.
