The Veteran's claims for service connection are being remanded due to the need for clarification of her military service dates, additional medical records, and further examination.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as there are gaps in the record regarding the Veteran's military service dates and potential aggravation issues with regard to her shoulder injuries.

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.
