The Board has remanded the case to verify the veteran's claimed in-service stressors and determine if he meets the criteria for service connection for PTSD based on new evidence.
The deciding factor: The VA Tiger Team requested verification of the veteran's claimed in-service stressors, which were not fully addressed by CURR. The Board must now verify these incidents before determining eligibility for service connection.

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.
