The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining an addendum opinion regarding whether the Veteran's tremor disorder was caused by his service in Southwest Asia.
The deciding factor: The examiner did not address the specific periods of active duty service and the lay and medical evidence reflecting complaints of tremors since the Veteran's period of active duty from January 1991 to April 1991, as well as the Veteran's wife's statements regarding his tremors.

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.
