The Veteran is entitled to service connection for Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia but needs further evidentiary development.
The deciding factor: Further development of the SSA records may provide relevant information to support or deny the Veteran's claim for service connection.

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).
