The Board has determined that further development is needed for the issues of service connection for a right elbow condition and a left clavicle condition. The Veteran's claims are being remanded to the RO for additional review.
The deciding factor: Further evidence was submitted by the Veteran, and VA examinations are required to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed conditions.

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
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
