The appeal for service connection for physical injuries acquired between 1984 and 1988 was denied as the veteran did not serve on ACDUTRA or INACDUTRA during that time period, and there is no evidence of a physical injury incurred in or aggravated by such service.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim for service connection for physical injuries acquired between 1984 and 1988 was denied because she did not serve on ACDUTRA or INACDUTRA during that time period, and there is no evidence of a physical injury incurred in or aggravated by such service.

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.
