The Veteran's right testicular disability, including atrophy and pain, was found to be worse than the current noncompensable rating. The Board has ordered a remand for further examination and consideration of all relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not discuss the December 2020 medical records which included symptoms of hematuria and scrotal ultrasound findings, thus failing to provide an adequate opinion on the severity of the service-connected right testicular disability.

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.
