The Board has remanded the case for further development, including scheduling a VA examination to assess the nature and probable etiology of any nasal disability or residuals of nasal trauma. The Veteran's service connection claim for tinea pedis and onychomycosis and right eye condition will also be addressed.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient evidence in the record regarding the Veteran's claimed nasal disabilities, including whether they are related to service, and thus remanded the case for further development.

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.
