The Board has remanded the case for further development due to additional VA treatment records submitted by the veteran. The claims of service connection and compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 are now before the RO for reconsideration.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded due to newly received VA treatment records that need to be considered in the first instance by the RO.

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.
