The Board has determined that there is new and relevant evidence received after the final denial of service connection for bilateral hand/finger disability, bilateral arm disability, and bilateral neurological disability of the upper extremities. These claims are therefore remanded for further review.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted after the prior denials, which may support the Veteran's claims of service connection for these disabilities.

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.
