The veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including obtaining unit records and conducting examinations to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed conditions.
The deciding factor: Additional development is required due to incomplete service records and to provide medical opinions regarding the relationship between the veteran's current disabilities and his active service.

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.
