The Board has determined that further development is needed to address the Veteran's claims for service connection and rating of his positional vertigo, as well as his eye condition. The case will be returned to the RO for additional development.
The deciding factor: Further clarification or new evidence may be required to determine if the Veteran's positional vertigo and/or eye condition are related to service or other service-connected disabilities.

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.
