The Board has determined that new and relevant evidence was submitted, warranting readjudication of the claims for service connection for tremors, hernia residuals and cysts, and ulcers.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence was submitted since the July 2019 rating decision, which includes witness statements, articles, and self-reported treatment. The Board found that this new evidence is sufficient to warrant readjudication of the 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.
