The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for a cardiac disability, to include PSVT, and for an increased rating for degenerative joint disease of the sacroiliac joint and lumbar spine. The TDIU claim is also remanded.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations did not account for the Veteran's history of symptoms during service and did not adequately assess her range of motion prior to December 8, 2020.

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.
