The Board has remanded the case due to a hearing issue and will be scheduled for a video-conference hearing before a Veterans Law Judge.
The deciding factor: The Veteran requested a hearing, but the member who conducted his previous hearing is no longer employed by the Board. The case was therefore remanded with instructions to schedule a new hearing.

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.
