What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.

- Granted
The Board has dismissed the appeals for the issues of entitlement to service connection for left ear injury and right ear injury. The Veteran's claims for right knee chondromalacia with degenerative changes and chronic sinusitis have been granted as her symptoms are linked to her active military service.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including post-concussion syndrome, left foot disorder, right shoulder disorder, migraine headaches, seizure disorder, and ear and jaw injuries, finding that there was no evidence of a head injury in service or any current disabilities related to such an injury.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the veteran's right ear disability, including hearing loss, perforation of the tympanic membrane, and tinnitus, is service-connected. The issue of a temporary total rating remains under consideration.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
