The Board has found that new and relevant evidence has been received to warrant readjudication of the claims for service connection for left knee, left foot, right foot, and low back disabilities. These issues are being remanded due to missing records from Reserve/ National Guard service.

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).
