The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining medical opinions regarding the Veteran's skin rash and stomach disability. The issues of service connection for a skin rash and stomach disability (including as secondary to PTSD) are in dispute.
The deciding factor: The claims have been remanded due to pending requests for supplemental medical opinions related to the Veteran's skin rash and stomach disability, including their relationship to service and any stressors therein.

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.
