The Board has determined that the Veteran's claim for Chapter 33 benefits should be reconsidered, taking into account his election to receive Chapter 33 benefits by relinquishing his eligibility under Chapter 30. If the benefit remains denied, a supplemental statement of the case will be issued.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded due to the need to consider whether the Veteran's election to receive Chapter 33 benefits bars him from receiving them based on the provisions of 38 C.F.R. 21.9520(c)(1)(i).

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.
