The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 due to his allegations of bilateral leg disability resulting from VA treatment in Memphis, Tennessee.
The deciding factor: The Veteran testified that he developed bilateral leg pain and stiffness after being prescribed medication by VA for a pulled muscle, which the Board found may be associated with his condition.

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.
What you can do next
