The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including a VA medical examination to determine the nature and etiology of any dizziness or vertigo. The TDIU claim is also deferred pending resolution of the service connection issue.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the Board's conclusion regarding the lack of evidence linking the Veteran's current disability to his service-connected hearing loss was based on unsubstantiated medical opinion, and thus remanded for additional proceedings.

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.
