The Board has remanded the case for further development due to incomplete medical records and the need for a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as there are gaps in the veteran's post-service medical history, which may affect the determination of whether his current disabilities were aggravated by service.

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.
