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.
What you can do next
Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Veteran is granted service connection for erectile dysfunction, PTSD, and enlarged prostate as of June 19, 2024. The effective date for these conditions is the day VA received notice of the intent to file the claim that led to the grant of service connection.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to a procedural error in how the AOJ handled the Veteran's claims for service connection for an enlarged prostate disability and elevated PSA levels. The Veteran filed separate claims, but the AOJ treated them as one issue. The Board now needs to address both issues separately.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has vacated the dismissal of the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left eye disability and remanded the issue of compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for left eye retinal detachment.
- Dismissed
The appeal for service connection and initial rating for various conditions was dismissed due to the submission of a duplicate Notice of Disagreement.
