The Veteran's claim for service connection for a testicular disorder, including hypogonadism, has been remanded due to the need for additional evidence. The claim for an initial rating higher than 10 percent for right-sided ilioinguinal pain syndrome is also pending and will be adjudicated after the necessary development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's low testosterone levels may be related to his service-connected right-sided ilioinguinal pain syndrome, but a definitive opinion cannot be provided without additional evidence regarding hormonal assays.

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.
