The Board has decided to remand the case for further development, including obtaining VA medical records and scheduling a VA examination. The veteran's claim will be reconsidered after these steps are completed.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary due to incomplete treatment notes and outstanding VA medical records that may be relevant to this appeal.

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.
