The deciding factor: The Board found that VA treatment records from October 2010 to the present were not obtained as instructed in previous remands and are necessary for a complete evaluation of the Veteran's claims.

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.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
