The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and his hyperhidrosis, including obesity. The examiner is asked to provide an opinion on these issues.
The deciding factor: The decision was not about a specific condition but rather about determining if there is a connection between the Veteran's service-connected conditions and his hyperhidrosis, which may be related to obesity or other factors.

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.
