The Veteran's claim for service connection for a chronic acquired psychiatric disorder, to include hysterical neurosis, is being remanded due to the need for additional development and examination.
The deciding factor: Additional records are needed from SSA and VA, and a new VA examination is required as the Veteran has submitted evidence indicating his current condition may be related to service.

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.
