Remanded (sent back)
The veteran's claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 20 percent for service-connected rotoscoliosis and spondylosis is being remanded to schedule a Board hearing.
The deciding factor: The veteran requested rescheduling of his hearing due to severe back spasms, and the RO has not yet rescheduled it.

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.
