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.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for his left foot cyst from March 9, 2022 to November 28, 2022. The Board has determined that there were duty-to-assist errors prior to the November 2022 decision on appeal and thus remands the case.
- Denied
The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a left foot cyst and left knee disability, finding that the preponderance of evidence does not support a relationship to service.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims of service connection for a left foot cyst, tuberculosis, and bilateral knee disability. The claim for an initial rating for a scar of the dorsum of the left foot was granted with a 10% rating effective June 8, 2006.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
