The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a skin disability, bilateral wrist disability, and bilateral elbow disability due to lack of evidence showing these conditions are related to his military service. The case is being remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide sufficient medical evidence to support his claims, including private treatment records that were requested but not provided.

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
