The deciding factor: The decision was based on insufficient evidence regarding the impact of the Veteran's educational background and vocational training on his employability.

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.
What you can do next
