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.

- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as there was no credible supporting evidence to verify the claimed in-service stressors.
- Dismissed
The appeal for PTSD was dismissed. Service connection for dry eye syndrome, secondary to service-connected bilateral pinguecula, is granted. The claims of entitlement to a compensable disability rating for residuals of cholecystectomy, service connection for irritable bowel syndrome, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, and headaches are remanded.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the veteran currently has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and it is associated with a reported stressor that occurred during his period of military service. Therefore, the claim for service connection for PTSD is granted.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the veteran's post-traumatic stress disorder is service-connected, as his symptoms are linked to in-service stressors.
