Remanded (sent back)

The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for right hip disability and multiple sclerosis due to insufficient evidence in the original decision. The Veteran's reports of in-service paratrooper jumps and right hip pain are to be considered, as well as a relationship between his PTSD with TBI and his diagnosed conditions.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the original opinion was inadequate and remanded for further examination considering the Veteran's reported in-service events and current symptoms.

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.
