The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining all relevant treatment records and providing a VA examination to assess the Veteran's paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The appeal is now pending again with the RO.
The deciding factor: The decision was not explicitly made on service connection but rather on rating assignment, necessitating further development of the medical evidence.

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.
