The Board is remanding the case due to incomplete notification and development under the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (VCAA). The appellant needs to be informed about the evidence she needs to provide, and VA will assist her in obtaining identified evidence.
The deciding factor: The VCAA requires that all claims are provided with proper notice and assistance. This case is remanded for these purposes.

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.
