The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for recurrent right knee and left knee disabilities due to a lack of verification of the Veteran's periods of active duty, active duty for training, and inactive duty for training with the Navy Reserve. The records associated with this duty need to be requested and added to the record.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was a pre-decisional error in not verifying the Veteran's service periods and requesting all available medical records from his reserve duty.

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.
