The Board has remanded the claim for service connection for a circulatory disorder, including thrombophlebitis, due to insufficient information regarding the Appellant's dates of military service and additional medical records.
The deciding factor: Insufficient documentation of the Appellant's dates of service in the U.S. Army and Puerto Rico Army Reserves/National Guard, as well as missing or unobtained additional medical records.

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.
