The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient information and a need for further examination regarding the Veteran's dental and oral condition, which is related to her service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not provide an adequate opinion on whether the current dental and oral disability was at least as likely as not related to the in-service oral surgery or periodontal disease.

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.
