The Board has determined that additional development is needed to address the Veteran's claims for bifascicular left bundle and right bundle branch block, including considering his theories of entitlement related to service-connected ischemic heart disease, herbicide exposure, radiation exposure, and contaminated drinking water at Camp LeJeune.
The deciding factor: The Board found an error in the decision-making process due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, requiring additional development with a new VA examination to address all theories of entitlement.

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.
