The Veteran's claim for service connection has been reopened, but the Board is remanding the case to further develop and consider his claims as they relate to chronic kidney disorder, skin disorders of the feet/toenails, PTSD, and Type II diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: New evidence submitted by the Veteran raises a reasonable possibility of substantiating his claim for service connection but more information is needed regarding the nature and etiology of these 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.
