The Board has ordered the VA to make additional efforts to locate and obtain clinical records from Osan Air Force Base Hospital, Korea, for November 1963 to November 1964, as well as treatment records from VAMC in Omaha, Nebraska, from December 1964 to November 1992. The veteran's claim will be readjudicated after these efforts are completed.
The deciding factor: The VA needs to locate and obtain clinical records for the veteran's treatment at Osan Air Force Base Hospital, Korea, and VAMC in Omaha, Nebraska, from relevant time periods.

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.
