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.

- Denied
The Board denied service connection for left hip strain, right hip strain, cervical strain, kidney stones, right elbow tendonitis, and left knee strain as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or caused by active military service.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic rhinitis, allergic or non-allergic and urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control) as there was insufficient evidence to establish a causal link between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service. The remaining claims were remanded for further development.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection due to insufficient evidence of compensable limitation of motion or a disability diagnosis.

The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including GERD, neck injury, right knee injury, left knee injury, shrapnel wound to the lower left leg, right ankle injury, left ankle injury, RLE neuropathy, and lower back injury.
