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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 10 percent for tinnitus and service connection for iron deficiency anemia.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for hot flashes, sleep apnea, iron deficiency anemia, and PTSD as the probative evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or due to active service.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him unable to follow and secure substantially gainful employment, thus a total disability rating for individual unemployability is granted.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for endometriosis, leiomyoma of uterus, and iron deficiency anemia as secondary to the former conditions.
