The Board has remanded the case due to concerns about the competency of a VA examiner who provided an opinion on the Veteran's employability prior to November 30, 2017. The case will be returned for further development and consideration.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the qualifications of the VA examiner who provided the August 2022 VA opinion were not indicated or verified, necessitating a remand to obtain this information.

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.
