The case is being remanded for another VA examination to assess the impact of the veteran's service-connected left leg disability on his ability to obtain and perform substantially gainful work during a specific period, followed by adjudicatory action based on all available evidence.
The deciding factor: The requested development has not been completed as per the Board's previous remand instructions, necessitating another remand for compliance with those directives.

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.
