The Veteran's renal cancer may be associated with his duty at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina. However, the Board finds that a VA clinical opinion is needed to determine if there is a 50 percent or greater probability of causation.
The deciding factor: There is insufficient evidence to establish a connection between the Veteran's renal cancer and service without further medical examination.

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.
