Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeals for earlier effective dates and increased ratings have been withdrawn. The Board has remanded the issues of service connection for a psychiatric disability, fatigue, and sleep disturbances due to their inextricably-intertwined nature with the psychiatric disability issue.
The deciding factor: The claims are being remanded as they are interrelated with the Veteran's claim for service connection for a psychiatric disability.

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.
