The Board has decided to remand the case due to a lack of VA examination for the right wrist condition, which is necessary to determine its etiology and whether it arose during service or is otherwise related to any incident of service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient medical evidence to decide the Veteran's claim regarding his right wrist condition, as the nature and etiology of the condition were not addressed in VA examinations or post-service treatment records.

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.
