The Board remands the claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for kidney disease and induration penis plastica to secure additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary to address the theories of entitlement regarding the Veteran's kidney disease and induration penis plastica, as the current evidence is insufficient to make a decision on these claims.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
