The Board is remanding the TDIU claim to the RO via the Appeals Management Center (AMC) in Washington, DC. The veteran's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is currently rated at 10 percent and has been in remission since August 2004. There are no confirmed residuals of the disease. The Board finds that the preponderance of evidence does not support a higher rating for the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The deciding factor: The veteran's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is currently rated at 10 percent and has been in remission since August 2004. There are no confirmed residuals of the disease, and his hemoglobin levels do not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 7100.

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.
