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.

- Denied
The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis for any of the claimed conditions and thus, service connection is denied.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran's current cognitive impairments are at least in part related to his in-service TBI, and thus service connection is granted for residuals of a TBI.
- Remanded (sent back)
