The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for recurrent bladder disorder and recurrent prostate disorder due to insufficient examination reports. The Veteran is required to provide VA with private healthcare provider records, obtain any relevant VA treatment records, and undergo a VA genitourinary examination.
The deciding factor: Insufficient medical evidence was provided in the previous examinations to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's recurrent bladder disorder and prostate disorder, as well as their relationship to service-connected disabilities or other factors.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
