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.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case for further development due to insufficient evidence to decide the claim, including a need for VA examinations.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for post traumatic stress disorder as there was no credible evidence to support his claimed in-service stressors.
- Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded for additional development, including a new VA examination to assess the current severity of the Veteran's PTSD.
