The Board has remanded the case for a new hearing before a Veterans Law Judge due to an incorrect address notification. The Veteran's claims of service connection for various conditions related to squamous cell carcinoma of the glottis are still under review.
The deciding factor: The decision is being remanded because the Veteran was not properly notified about their scheduled hearing, and they have provided their correct current address.

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.
