The Veteran is seeking a compensable initial evaluation for the service-connected dyshidrosis. The Board has decided to remand this claim due to the need for a VA examination to assess the current nature, extent, and severity of his service-connected dyshidrosis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran testified that his service-connected symptoms have worsened since the last examination in June 2005. The Board has therefore decided to remand this claim to afford the Veteran a VA 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.
