The case is being remanded due to the need for additional medical opinions and development of records. The issues of service connection, TDIU, and dental treatment are all pending.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for further clarification regarding the etiology of the Veteran's conditions and the potential aggravation by his service-connected 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.
