The veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including scheduling a hearing before the Board or a traveling member of the Board.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded due to the veteran not requesting a hearing within the required timeframe and his subsequent request for a videoconference hearing in San Antonio, Texas.

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.
