The veteran's claims for increased ratings and compensation under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. � 1151 are being remanded due to incomplete VCAA notice, need for a VA examination, and retrieval of relevant medical records.
The deciding factor: Incomplete VCAA notice was provided in previous decisions, necessitating its correction before further action can be taken on the veteran's claims.

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.
