The Board has remanded the case due to an inadequate statement of reasons or bases for denying service connection for a stomach ulcer disability. The Veteran's symptoms and history suggest a possible relationship with his in-service treatment, but further examination is needed.
The deciding factor: Further medical examination is required to determine if the current stomach ulcer disability is related to the Veteran's service.

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.
