The Board has remanded the case for further development and readjudication due to a failure to obtain VA outpatient records and an adequate rating examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examiner did not provide sufficient details about the current level of disability from service-connected paroxysmal tachycardia, including MET data. The case is being remanded for further development and readjudication in compliance with these requirements.

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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has denied service connection for cataracts, COPD, aortic aneurysm, right wrist tendonitis, and paroxysmal tachycardia as the evidence does not support a link to service or herbicide exposure. The Veteran's claim for service connection of paroxysmal tachycardia is remanded due to lack of a VA examination.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an extra-schedular rating for paroxysmal tachycardia due to its severity and related factors, such as marked interference with employment or frequent periods of hospitalization.
- Partly granted
The veteran's cluster headaches were rated at 30 percent, effective July 2, 2007. The evaluation for paroxysmal tachycardia remained at 30 percent.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a schedular rating higher than 30 percent but referred the case to Compensation and Pension Service for consideration of an extra-schedular rating.
