The Board has found that the claims for restoration of a 10 percent disability rating and for an effective date prior to August 28, 2018, are remanded due to new evidence received after the September 2023 SOC.
The deciding factor: New medical evidence was provided in January 2024 that is relevant to the claims on appeal and not previously considered by the AOJ.

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.
