The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to verify the appellant's service records due to insufficient information provided by the appellant himself.

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.
