The Board has determined that additional development is necessary due to the need for a new rating examination and review of medical records. The appellant's disabilities include seizure disorder, left wrist pain, degenerative joint disease of the elbows, occasional angina-like chest pain, and history of a cerebral vascular accident.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that there must be a new rating examination to accurately identify the percentage of impairment caused by each specific disability shown in the evidence of record.

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.
