The veteran's claim for service connection for a disability manifested by hypoglycemia, with involvement of the liver and pancreas is being remanded due to insufficient VCAA notice.
The deciding factor: The VCAA notice provided was inadequate as it did not include information on how new and material evidence could be submitted or what would happen if such evidence were received.

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.
- Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for service connection for various conditions due to a lack of jurisdiction over the claims.
- Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for hypoglycemia and increased ratings for low back and right lower extremity disabilities. However, it granted a 20 percent rating for the low back disability before July 18, 2018.
- Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, as the evidence did not support a finding that any of the listed conditions were etiologically related to an in-service injury or disease.
- Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a head injury, hypoglycemia, malaise (also claimed as fatigue), and folliculitis. However, the gynecological disorder was granted based on an undiagnosed illness presumptively related to Persian Gulf War service.
