The deciding factor: The veteran withdrew his appeal for service connection for PTSD, leaving only the issue of whether new and material evidence has been received to reopen the claim for service connection for schizoid personality disorder.

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.
