The RO has denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the veteran's death as not well grounded. The case is being remanded to allow for additional development and consideration.
The deciding factor: The claim was previously found not well grounded due to lack of evidence linking the veteran's stroke to any incident in service, including radiation exposure.

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.
