The Board has remanded the case due to issues related to service connection and reopening of claims, as well as a request for a video conference hearing. The appellant's current address needs to be clarified before he is notified of the hearing.
The deciding factor: The appeal was not about service connection at all, but rather about whether new evidence has been received to reopen previously denied claims and for a request for a hearing.

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.
