The Veteran seeks service connection for PTSD, which he contends resulted from his service in Iraq. The Board finds insufficient evidence to adjudicate the claim at this time and remands it for further development.
The deciding factor: The available evidence is insufficient to determine whether the Veteran's claimed stressors are sufficient to produce PTSD or if there is a link between current symptomatology and any verified in-service stressors.

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.
