The Board has determined that the remand is necessary due to inadequate medical opinion and failure to consider the Veteran's self-reported symptoms.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because the provided medical opinion did not adequately address the Veteran's sworn testimony regarding her right toe condition and its continuity of symptoms since service.

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.
