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
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).

- Whole decision: Granted
The Board has granted service connection for blood clots in the Veteran's left leg, finding that it is at least as likely as not related to his service-connected diabetes mellitus type II.
- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment, and the Board has granted a TDIU.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that additional development is needed to clarify the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed bilateral hip disability and blood clots in his left leg, as well as whether these conditions are related to service-connected disabilities. The case will be remanded for further examination and opinion.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
