The Board has decided to remand the Veteran's claim of service connection for painful urination and prostate inflammation due to insufficient medical evidence in the VA examiner's opinion. The case is sent back for an addendum opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's lay statements regarding the continuity of his symptoms since 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.
