The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for chest pains and dizziness, to include vertigo and/or Meniere's disease. The claims are being returned due to inadequate medical opinions regarding the nature of the Veteran's in-service exposures.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examiners were not provided with information about the Veteran's specific in-service exposures, which is necessary for a proper assessment of his service connection claims.

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.
