The Board has remanded the Veteran's claim for service connection for a parathyroid disability, to include as secondary to her now service-connected kidney disability. A new medical opinion is needed to determine if it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's parathyroid disability is related to her service.
The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient evidence regarding whether the Veteran's parathyroid disability was directly related to her service, necessitating a new medical opinion.

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.
