Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and notification regarding the evidence needed to substantiate a claim for an increased rating for post-gastric resection, normal function, gastric reflux and hiatus hernia.
The deciding factor: The case must be remanded due to the need for VCAA notice and development of the veteran's claims.

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.
