The Board has decided to remand the Veteran's claims for a compensable evaluation for residuals, stress fracture right tibia and TDIU due to additional development being needed. Specifically, a new VA examination is required to evaluate the current level of severity of his service-connected disabilities and determine if he is entitled to a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Board found that remand was necessary as there were issues with the previous decision regarding the applicability of 38 C.F.R. § 4.59, duty to assist, and whether the Veteran is entitled to a TDIU.

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.
