The Veteran's left foot tenosynovitis is granted as service connected. The Veteran's left wrist disorder and PTSD rating are remanded for further examination and evidence review.
The deciding factor: The decision on the left foot tenosynovitis was favorable due to equipoise of evidence supporting a connection to service. For the left wrist disorder, the Veteran needs an examination as he did not attend his scheduled VA examination. The PTSD rating is remanded for additional records and evaluation.

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
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
