The Board has found that the right and left side paralyses are not due to negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment or similar instance of fault on the part of VA. Therefore, compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 is denied.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's paralyses were caused by any negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment or similar instance of fault on the part of VA.

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
