The Board has remanded the Veteran's case to consider his claims for an increased evaluation for posttraumatic stress disorder and a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities. The case will be reviewed with consideration of new evidence, including a Vet Center report from October 2006.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's claims required additional development to consider the impact of his posttraumatic stress disorder on his employability and the severity of his service-connected disabilities.

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.
