The Board has remanded the case due to a scheduling issue for a videoconference hearing. The appellant's appeal remains pending and will be scheduled for a hearing.
The deciding factor: The appellant requested a videoconference hearing, but his attorney rescheduled it without notifying the appellant. The Board must now schedule the hearing in accordance with VA procedures.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.

- Whole decision: Dismissed
The appeal has been withdrawn by the Veteran and his representative before a decision was made.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Veteran's claims for higher evaluations of his residuals of a fracture of the left radius and ulna with arthritis, as well as his radial neuropathy, were denied. His claim for TDIU was remanded.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected residuals of a fracture of the left radius and ulna do not warrant a rating in excess of 20 percent, as there is no evidence showing nonunion with false movement or loss of bone substance. The current disability picture does not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board found that the current 10 percent evaluation for residuals of a fracture of the left radius and ulna does not adequately reflect the severity of this disability, as evidenced by mild restriction of forearm pronation and supination, full forearm flexion and extension.
