The Board is remanding the case for additional development due to insufficient reasons and bases in the prior decision, failure to provide adequate VCAA notice, and unclear marital status of the appellant.
The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient reasons and bases in the prior decision and failed to adequately explain its reliance on Dr. Dedman's opinion without providing the underlying treatment records.

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.
