The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete records and a need for further verification of service dates. The Veteran's claim for reopening his Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome claim remains pending.
The deciding factor: The decision is being remanded because there are gaps in the record, particularly regarding the Veteran's service dates and treatment records from VA facilities and private providers.

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.
