The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for the issuance of a Statement of the Case (SOC) regarding his claims for an increased disability rating and CUE in previous RO decisions. The issues are related, so they will be addressed together.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the questions of whether there was clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in the September 24, 1993 and January 31, 2012 RO rating decisions remain unresolved and must be remanded for further action.

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.
