The Board has remanded the case to allow the Appeals Management Center to consider additional evidence and readjudicate the issue of entitlement to an evaluation greater than 10 percent for right knee arthritis.
The deciding factor: The decision is being remanded due to the need to consolidate temporary folders from both the Appeals Management Center and the RO, and to consider relevant VA treatment records as well as recent examinations.

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.
