The Board has decided to remand two issues: the left varicocele rating determination and the temporary total rating for convalescence period of left microscopic denervation. The decision is pending further review.
The deciding factor: The decisions are pending because there are errors in the medical history provided by a previous VA opinion, which need to be corrected before making a final decision.

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.
