The Board has determined that the appellant should be afforded a VA examination for the purpose of obtaining a fully informed medical opinion regarding the relationship between the veteran's current residuals of a testicular injury, if any, and his period of service. The RO is also advised to request records from the VAMC where the veteran sees a podiatrist for treatment of his warts.
The deciding factor: The Board found that an examination would be useful in determining likelihood of a relationship between the veteran's current residuals of a testicular injury, if any, and his period of 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.
