The Board has remanded the claims for service connection due to Agent Orange exposure for a bilateral foot condition, right hand tremors, recurring intestinal tumors, and skin conditions (other than dry flaky skin of the feet).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service records show exposure to herbicide agents in Vietnam, including Da Nang. The claims are remanded as VA examinations are needed to determine if these conditions are related to his active service.

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.
