The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for right wrist tenosynovitis, left wrist tenosynovitis, left CTS, and right CTS due to a failure to obtain all of the appellant's service treatment records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ did not have all of the appellant's service treatment records at the time of its decision, which is required by regulation.

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.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
