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.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's gynecological disability, including residuals of an abdominal hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, and appendectomy, is remanded for further review due to the need for clarification regarding whether it clearly and unmistakably existed prior to service and was not aggravated by service.
- Denied
The Veteran's unauthorized medical expenses incurred at a private hospital were not reimbursable because the treatment was not pre-authorized, and no VA facility was feasibly available for transfer after stabilization.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's right salpingo-oophorectomy and PTSD are being remanded for further development as the current evidence does not provide sufficient information to make a determination.
