The Board has remanded the Veteran's claim due to inadequate VA examination and failure of the Veteran to report for a requested VA examination. The case is now returned to the AMC for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the May 2012 VA opinion was inadequate for adjudicating the Veteran's claims, as it did not adequately address the onset, frequency, duration and etiology of the Veteran's neurological symptomatology.

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.
