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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board has granted an effective date of March 20, 2003 for the Veteran's entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to his service-connected conditions. The criteria were met as evidenced by the Veteran's inability to obtain or maintain substantially gainful employment from this date onwards.
- Remanded (sent back)
The claim for service connection for thrombophlebitis of the left leg was reopened as new and material evidence was submitted, but further action is required to determine if it is related to service or a service-connected condition.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for dysthymia as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected thrombophlebitis of the left leg. The issues of entitlement to an increased rating for thrombophlebitis and service connection for a gastrointestinal disorder are remanded.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claims for increased rating and TDIU are being remanded due to the need for additional medical examinations, treatment records, and SSA records.
