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.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for peripheral neuropathy of both lower extremities on a direct basis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, have rendered him unemployable from December 10, 2009. However, due to his non-service-connected back disability, a TDIU rating prior to March 1, 2011 is denied. The Board has also found that the Veteran's service-connected diabetes does not warrant a rating in excess of 20 percent.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that further development is necessary to determine if the appellant's service-connected disabilities necessitate the need for regular aid and attendance or render him housebound.
- Dismissed
The veteran withdrew his appeal for service connection for peripheral neuropathy of both upper and lower extremities.
