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.
- Granted
The Veteran is granted special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities. The issue of entitlement to special monthly compensation based on housebound status is dismissed as moot.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded two issues: entitlement to increased ratings for residuals of a right elbow fracture and right median sensory loss of the right hand. The Veteran needs new VA examinations to assess the current severity of his service-connected conditions.
- Dismissed
The Veteran's appeals for service connection on multiple conditions have been dismissed. The Board did not address the merits of these claims, but rather found that the Veteran withdrew his appeal as to all issues related to a rash, tonsillitis, dysuria, coagulase, dyspnea, gastroenteritis, myalgia, residuals of a right elbow fracture, costochondritis, and hearing loss. The appeals for service connection on tinnitus, back disability, headache disability, residuals of a head injury, vertigo, and eye disability are remanded.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case for further development, including scheduling a VA examination and obtaining medical records. The veteran is seeking service connection for residuals of a right elbow fracture sustained during active duty.
