The Veteran's appeal is remanded to obtain updated examinations and opinions regarding his intestinal disorder, foot disabilities, and TDIU claim.
The deciding factor: The current evidence does not provide sufficient information to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's intestinal disorder or the severity of his service-connected foot and groin disabilities. Additionally, a new examination is needed for an opinion on whether the Veteran can work due to his service-connected conditions.

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
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
