The Board has ordered a remand due to the need for further examination and opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's service-connected bronchitis and her claimed cardiac arrhythmias. The case will be returned for readjudication.
The deciding factor: Further medical evaluation is required to determine if the Veteran's paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is proximately caused or aggravated by her service-connected allergic bronchitis, including medications used to treat it.

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.
