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.

- Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of recurrent renal calculi was granted. The denial of compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for the abdominal hernia is based on a finding that it was not caused by VA care, but rather due to the Veteran's obesity and use of narcotics.,The claim for reopening service connection for papillary carcinoma of the thyroid was granted, as new evidence had been submitted.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for Guillian-Barre Syndrome and for specially adapted housing or special home adaptation grant. The decision found that there was no evidence linking the current GBS to his in-service fracture of the left tibia and fibula, and concluded that the Veteran did not meet the criteria for a certificate of eligibility for assistance in acquiring specially adapted housing.
