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.

- Dismissed
The Board previously denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for Peyronie's disease with erectile dysfunction, and this issue is now dismissed as it was improperly recertified.
