The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining VA treatment records and scheduling a VA examination. The veteran's claims for service connection for peripheral neuropathy and chloracne, claimed as secondary to exposure to Agent Orange, will be readjudicated.

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.
