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.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal for service connection for heart attack, kidney stones, polycythemia vera, diabetes mellitus type 2, and psoriasis is remanded due to inadequate VA opinions regarding the etiology of these conditions.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a TDIU based on a single disability, finding that his psychiatric disorder alone did not render him unemployable and that he was not in receipt of a total disability rating based on a single service-connected condition.
- Partly granted
The Veteran's sleep apnea, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis have been granted effective as of September 9, 2021. The effective date for the grant of service connection is based on the PACT Act.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for rhinitis on a presumptive basis due to exposure to fine particulate matter. Service connection for undiagnosed coughing is denied, and the Veteran's psoriasis remains at a noncompensable rating.
