The Veteran's claims for increased disability ratings and effective dates related to his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are being remanded due to the need for additional development. The Veteran also has pending claims regarding a total evaluation based on individual unemployability, which are being addressed separately.
The deciding factor: The Board is vacating its previous decisions and remanding the case for further action as required by regulations and court orders.

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.
