The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient development and need for additional evidence, including treatment records and a new VA examination. The Veteran's service-connected lumbar spine intervertebra disc syndrome and spinal stenosis are alleged to have caused or aggravated his claimed neurologic impairments.
The deciding factor: The previous opinion did not address the question of aggravation and is therefore inadequate for determining whether the Veteran's neurological abnormalities were caused by or aggravated by his service-connected low back disabilities.

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.
