The Veteran's claim for service connection for motion sickness is being remanded due to the addition of new evidence that has not yet been considered by the AOJ.
The deciding factor: New evidence was added to the record since the last AOJ adjudication, and the Veteran did not waive AOJ consideration of this evidence in the first instance.

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.
