The Board has remanded the case due to new evidence received, need for additional VA examination, and need to verify stressors. The veteran's claim of service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder is on appeal.
The deciding factor: The decision was not made based on a specific reasoning statement as it is a remand order.

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.
