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).

- Whole decision: Granted
The Board has granted separate, 10 percent ratings for the Veteran's cold injury residuals of both feet.

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's right knee disability, headache disorder, and cold injury residuals are all found to be related to his service. The Veteran is granted service connection for these conditions.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient medical opinion regarding whether the Veteran's PTSD contributed to his death. The appellant contends that frequent startle responses from her husband's service-connected hearing loss and PTSD exacerbated by remodeling work at their home likely contributed to his death.
