The Board has remanded the case for further development and readjudication, including providing notice of the denial of service connection for residuals of a neck injury. The issues are inextricably intertwined with the claim of peripheral neuropathy.
The deciding factor: The issue of residuals of a neck injury was not previously addressed and requires additional development before being adjudicated.

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.
