The Veteran's claims for higher initial ratings for peripheral neuropathy of the upper and lower extremities are being remanded due to issues not related to service connection.
The deciding factor: The appeal is not about service connection, but rather about the appropriate disability ratings for existing disabilities. The Board finds that further development is needed before a decision can be made on these rating claims.

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.
