Remanded (sent back)

The Board has found lack of substantial compliance with its prior remand directives and the matter is being remanded again for further development, including obtaining an addendum opinion from an ophthalmologist regarding the Veteran's right eye disabilities.

The deciding factor: The Board notes that the prior remand directives were not substantially complied with due to a lack of examination by the appropriate clinician and deficiencies in some medical opinions.

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.
