The Board has remanded the case due to additional VA medical evidence being added to the claims file, and the Veteran's representative requested a review of this new evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to consider newly received VA treatment records in the context of the Veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric disability other than PTSD.

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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran is seeking service connection for substance use disorders on a secondary basis to his service-connected PTSD. The Board has determined that another VA examination, by a different examiner, is needed to determine the nature and etiology of all acquired psychiatric disorders present during the period of the claim.
- Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD was denied in December 2001. The Board has now granted the claim on the basis of new and material evidence, but the other issues remain denied.
- 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.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
