The Board has remanded the case for further development due to issues involving memory problems, reduced energy, fatigue, night sweats, and sleep disturbance; allergy symptoms; and stomach problems. The veteran claims these conditions are related to his service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the Persian Gulf War.
The deciding factor: The Board found that additional evidence is needed to determine if the veteran's current health issues are related to his military service.

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.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Dismissed
The veteran withdrew the appeal for all service connection and rating issues, and the Board has no jurisdiction to review these matters.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for fatigue and prurigo nodularis, both on a secondary basis to the Veteran's service-connected conditions.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher rating for sleep disturbance to correct an error in the duty to assist, specifically whether the Veteran's sleep disturbance symptoms are controlled by continuous medication.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for a disability manifested by fatigue, finding no evidence of the condition and attributing the Veteran's symptoms to other known diagnoses.
