The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for chronic respiratory disorder, migraine headache disorder, right foot disorder, and left foot disorder due to unresolved issues. The appeal is not about service connection at all.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish a current disability or link any diagnosed conditions to military service.

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.
