The Veteran's claim for compensation for a pancreatic aneurysm is being remanded due to the addition of new VA treatment records since his last Supplemental Statement of the Case. The case will be reconsidered by the RO with consideration of these additional records.
The deciding factor: New medical evidence has been added to the claims file, and the Veteran wishes for this evidence to be considered by the RO before a final decision is made.
