The deciding factor: The VA examiner needs to review the Veteran's claims folder and provide an opinion on all associated residuals of his service-connected pelvic fracture, specifically those listed in 38 C.F.R. § 4.67.

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.
