The deciding factor: The Court found that the Board's decision was based on an incomplete record, specifically missing treatment records from Dr. Olsen at the Chalmers P. Wylie VA Outpatient Clinic in Columbus, Ohio.

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.
