The Board has decided to remand the case for additional development due to incomplete information and potential errors in service records. The veteran's claim will be reviewed again after obtaining her complete personnel file.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to obtain a complete personnel file from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) or other appropriate repository, which may contain crucial information regarding the veteran's enlistment and service contract obligations.

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.
