The veteran's initial claim for a compensable evaluation for his service-connected right wrist ganglion cyst was denied. The case is being remanded to the RO for additional development, including obtaining medical records and scheduling an examination.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for further evidence and examination to determine the current extent of the veteran's right wrist disability.

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.

- Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral pes planus, a right shoulder condition, a cervical strain, a lumbar strain, allergic rhinitis, TMJ with bruxism, ventral hernia, and ganglion cyst prior to March 24, 2020. However, it granted an initial 50 percent rating for bilateral pes planus from February 7, 2021, a 30 percent rating for TMJ, and 20 percent ratings for ventral hernia and ganglion cyst.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including bilateral hearing loss, chronic kidney disease, cell bladder carcinoma, hypertension, and various musculoskeletal issues, as the evidence did not support a finding that any of these conditions were incurred or aggravated during active duty for training.
- Dismissed
The appeal has been withdrawn by the Veteran and is dismissed.
- Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for right wrist, hypertension, and prostate cancer due to an improper concurrent election of review options under the Appeals Modernization Act.
