The veteran's claim for an increased evaluation of post concussion syndrome is being remanded due to inadequate notification under the VCAA. Additionally, his notice of disagreement regarding service connection for depression secondary to post concussion syndrome is also being addressed.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that adequate notification under the VCAA has not been provided and that a timely notice of disagreement has been filed regarding service connection for depression secondary to post concussion syndrome.

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.
