The Board has ordered the case remanded due to a need for additional development of the evidence, including obtaining medical records and conducting a VA examination. The veteran's claim is also related to PTSD which must be adjudicated by the RO.
The deciding factor: Additional development of the evidence is required as per the VCAA (Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000).

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.
