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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for various conditions due to lack of new and material evidence. The claims were remanded for a VA examination regarding GERD.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD, migraine headache disability, and ovarian disability prevented her from obtaining substantially gainful employment since November 8, 2017. The Board granted an effective date of November 8, 2017 for the TDIU.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has dismissed the appeals for service connection for chronic allergies, a respiratory disability, and a uterine disability. The remaining issues have been remanded due to new evidence being added to the record.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the appellant's uterine disability, prior to May 20, 2008, warranted a 30 percent evaluation. Beginning on May 20, 2008, when she underwent a supracervical hysterectomy, her disability was rated at 100 percent. From August 20, 2008, the date of surgery, until now, she is entitled to a 30 percent evaluation.
