The Board has determined that additional development is needed to verify the veteran's reported stressors and determine if he meets the criteria for PTSD. The case will be returned to the RO for further action.
The deciding factor: Additional evidence is required to corroborate the veteran's reported stressors and establish whether they occurred during service, which is necessary to decide his claim of entitlement to service connection for PTSD.

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.
