The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional medical inquiry to determine his ability to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The case was not about specific service connection issues, but rather the determination of whether the Veteran can secure and maintain employment due to his service-connected conditions.

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.
