The Veteran's appeal is being REMANDED to the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) for additional development, including obtaining VA records from December 2008 to March 2009 and scheduling a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Further development is required due to missing medical records and inadequate opinion regarding the Veteran's claim for compensation benefits pursuant to the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. � 1151 (West 2014).

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
