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.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to his service-connected disabilities, which include stressor related disorder, prostate cancer residuals, surgical scar, and erectile dysfunction. The combined disability rating is at least 80 percent.
- Dismissed
The Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer residuals was dismissed due to a duty to assist error identified in the prior rating decision, and the matter is being developed by the AOJ.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer and prostate cancer residuals, finding insufficient evidence of herbicide exposure during service to establish a direct link.
- Dismissed
The Veteran's appeal for a TDIU based on his service-connected prostate cancer residuals with urinary dysfunction is dismissed as moot because he is already receiving a 100% disability rating.
