The Board has determined that additional development is needed to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's right cubital tunnel syndrome and right forearm condition, including whether these conditions are related to service. The claims for service connection are being remanded.

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
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
