The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining a new VA examination by a urologist to address the etiology of the Veteran's claimed bladder disorder and its relationship to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded due to insufficient rationale provided in previous examinations and the need for an adequate opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's bladder disorder.

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.
