The Board has remanded the case for additional development and adjudicative action due to missing records.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded by the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims because Volume 1 of the veteran's claims file is missing, which requires the AMC or RO to rebuild it.

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.
