The Board has remanded the claims for residuals of a stroke, Alzheimer's disease or dementia, bilateral lower extremity nerve damage, bilateral upper extremity nerve damage, sleep walking, and an acquired psychiatric disability to obtain additional medical records from Lung Center of Georgia.

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.
