The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining medical records and scheduling a VA examination to determine the current severity of the appellant's service-connected left remote pubic fracture with residual pain.
The deciding factor: The appellant failed to attend her scheduled VA examination due to conflicting work schedule. The AMC is instructed to reschedule the examination at a more suitable time for the appellant.

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.
