The veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the need for additional development and notification under the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (VCAA). The claims for an increased evaluation for irritable stomach and for an effective date prior to December 15, 1998, for service connection for diabetes insipidus are being remanded.
The deciding factor: The VCAA requires additional development and notification before a decision can be made on the veteran's claims.

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.
