The case was remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication of the claims.
The deciding factor: The Court granted a Joint Motion for Remand due to insufficient VCAA notice, necessitating additional development before a proper decision can be made.

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.

- Denied
