Remanded (sent back)

The Veteran's claims for service connection for drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, and nasal congestion are being remanded due to the need for clarification regarding their etiology. The VA will conduct further examinations and review the evidence before making a decision.

The deciding factor: Further examination is required to determine if the Veteran's symptoms of drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, and nasal congestion are related to his service-connected disabilities or medications prescribed for those conditions.

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.
