The deciding factor: The previous VA opinion was inadequate and did not consider the Veteran's medical history, including his association with work-related and service-connected stressors.

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.
