The Veteran claims service connection for residuals of a left hip injury sustained in February 1953 during military training. The Board has determined that additional development is needed, including searching for records and scheduling an examination to determine the relationship between the current condition and service.
The deciding factor: The claim requires further evidence regarding the nature and timing of any injuries sustained in service and their relation to the Veteran's current hip disorder.

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.
