The deciding factor: Insufficient documentation of the Appellant's dates of service in the U.S. Army and Puerto Rico Army Reserves/National Guard, as well as missing or unobtained additional medical records.

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.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of phlebitis and thrombophlebitis, secondary to residuals of pericarditis, due to a lack of compliance with previous remand instructions.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the DIC claim due to its inextricably intertwined nature with other service connection claims. The Veteran's death pension benefits are denied as her income exceeds the maximum annual pension rate.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected post-phlebitic syndrome of the left leg does not render him unemployable on an extraschedular basis, as his education and work history do not support a finding that he is unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment.
- Dismissed
The appeal has been dismissed due to the death of the appellant, and no final decision can be made regarding the service connection claims.
