The deciding factor: Incomplete records regarding the Veteran's unit location during a critical period of his service have been identified, necessitating further investigation. Additionally, the SSOC must be sent to the Veteran at his current address in Richmond, Texas.

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.
What you can do next
