Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is being remanded due to incomplete documentation and the need for additional VA treatment records, as well as notices of disagreement from other service providers. The Veteran's July 2012 hospitalization will be reviewed again.
The deciding factor: Incomplete documentation and missing relevant VA treatment records are preventing a proper review of the appeal.

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.
