The Board has remanded the cases of migraine, aneurysm, and TIA for further development due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's active service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations is considered sufficient evidence to consider them as Persian Gulf veterans. The case requires obtaining medical opinions on the etiology and pathophysiology of the left internal carotid artery aneurysm, migraines, and a cerebrovascular accident.

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).
