The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including a new VA examination to assess the Veteran's trichuriasis and right tonsil carcinoma. The issues of service connection for arterial hypertension have also been remanded.
The deciding factor: The claims are being remanded due to procedural errors in previous decisions and the need for further medical evaluation.

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.
