The Veteran's claim for service connection for trembling, to include as secondary to his service-connected hyperthyroid condition is being remanded due to the need for a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient evidence in the record regarding the etiology of the Veteran’s tremors and their relationship to his service-connected hyperthyroidism.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
