The Veteran's claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, a rash to the lower body, and jungle rot are being remanded due to the need for further development of evidence.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as new evidence has been submitted but it does not relate directly to service connection issues. The specific nature of the Veteran's stressor events and the etiology of his current skin rash need to be clarified.

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.
