The Board has determined that a VA examination is necessary to determine the nature and etiology of the veteran's left eye conditions, including whether any are related to service-connected chorioretinitis. The claim will be remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The need for a medical examination was determined due to uncertainty regarding the relationship between current diagnoses and service-connected chorioretinitis.

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.
