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.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for hypothyroidism, diabetes type II, high blood pressure, insomnia disorder, and sleep apnea due to a duty to assist error and because these conditions may be secondary to the Veteran's already service-connected condition of hypothyroidism.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for further development and adjudicative action, including providing notice of the right to a pre-decisional RO hearing.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for coronary heart disease and diabetes type II under the PACT Act due to presumed in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for diabetes type II, GERD, prostate cancer, and hypertension as further development is necessary to determine if there is a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's military service, including exposure to herbicides.
