The Board has determined that the appellant's claim for service connection for asthmatic bronchitis is not well grounded and has been remanded to obtain additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the appellant's failure to provide sufficient information about his medical history, which prevented a determination of whether he had a valid claim for service connection. The Board now requires further development to ensure all relevant records are obtained and considered.

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.
