The Board has determined that an examination is necessary to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's enuresis (claimed as bedwetting) and whether it is related to service. The case is remanded for this purpose.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the Board did not properly consider the presumption of aggravation under section 1153, which requires a showing by the government that any increase in disability is due to the natural progress of the disease.

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.
