The Board has remanded the case due to a hearing issue and will schedule a videoconference hearing for the Veteran at the Denver Regional Office.
The deciding factor: The Veteran requested a new hearing, which was not conducted by the same Veterans Law Judge who originally heard his appeal. The law requires that the hearing be conducted by a current Veterans Law Judge.

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.
