The Board has ordered remand for the VA examiner to provide an opinion regarding whether the Veteran had a diagnosis of radial sensory neuritis at any time during the appeal period and, if so, whether it is related to active service.
The deciding factor: The Court set aside the October 2020 Board decision denying the appellant's radial sensory neuritis claim due to the failure to determine whether the Veteran's radial sensory neuritis was related to his active service. The examiner must now provide an opinion on these matters.

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.
