The Board has remanded the case due to the need for additional development of the Veteran's service treatment and personnel records, including those from Fort Hood Base Hospital where he was hospitalized in 1953. The Appellant must be provided with a Supplemental Statement of the Case after any further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that obtaining the Veteran's service treatment and personnel records is necessary to properly adjudicate the claim for reopening service connection for hemolytic anemia.

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.
