The Board has remanded the case due to non-compliance with previous remand instructions and a need for further development of the Veteran's service records, particularly regarding his claimed period of active duty from January 2002 to July 2002.
The deciding factor: Previous remand directives were not substantially complied with, necessitating additional development of the Veteran's service records.

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.
