The veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including a new examination to evaluate his service-connected lichen simplex chronicus and tinea cruris. The clothing allowance claim must also be readjudicated by the Dallas VAMC.
The deciding factor: The Board directed that the veteran be provided with a new examination to assess his current severity of service-connected conditions, and that the clothing allowance claim be readjudicated by the Dallas VAMC.

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.
