The Veteran's claim for service connection for chronic myeloid leukemia, claimed as secondary to herbicide exposure, is being remanded due to the submission of new evidence that has not been reviewed by the RO.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted without a waiver and must be reviewed by the RO before further consideration can be made.

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.
