The Board has decided to remand the claims for service connection for polyuria and TDIU due to insufficient development. The Veteran's claim of service connection for polyuria will be remanded to issue a Statement of the Case, while the TDIU claim requires the Veteran to complete an application form and provide clarification on his employment status.
The deciding factor: The claims are being remanded due to insufficient development and lack of a Statement of the Case for the service connection claim.

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.
