The Board has determined that additional development of the record is necessary due to the appellant's subjective reports of increased severity of his service-connected left knee disorder and for a possible relationship between his right foot condition and his service-connected left knee injury.
The deciding factor: Additional medical examination is needed to clarify the nature and etiology of the appellant's right foot condition, including whether it is related to his service-connected left knee injury.

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.
