The Veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 are being remanded due to the need for additional VA examinations and opinions regarding the etiology of his numbness in the bilateral lower extremities and muscle spasms of the right calf, both claimed as resulting from VA lack of proper care/negligence in providing surgical treatment in October 2004.

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.
