The Board has remanded the case due to uncertainty regarding whether the veteran's discharge was for a physical condition not characterized as a disability and did not result from her own willful misconduct, which interfered with performance of duty. The Board also needs more information on whether she served in the Selected Reserve and how long.
The deciding factor: The Board is unable to determine if the veteran's discharge due to pregnancy was for a physical condition that did not interfere with her performance of duty.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
