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

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have precluded her from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation since at least November 21, 2013. The Board finds that the criteria for entitlement to a TDIU have been met.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Veteran's paresis of the right lower extremity, right upper extremity, and left lower extremity have been rated at their maximum under applicable diagnostic codes. No higher ratings are warranted.

The Board has granted higher disability evaluations for the veteran's service-connected conditions, including loss of use of both lower extremities (100%), urinary incontinence (60% since June 9, 2005), bowel incontinence (30%), paresis of the left upper extremity (30%), and paresis of the right upper extremity (20%). The veteran's nystagmus remains at a 10% rating.
- Whole decision: Granted
The Board finds that the appellant's current disabilities, including paresis of the right lower extremity, impotence, and incontinence, are likely related to a motor vehicle accident during active duty training (ACDUTRA) in 1958. Therefore, service connection for residuals of a back injury is granted.
