The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of necessary records, including service treatment and personnel records. The appellant argues that the Veteran's release from active duty service as a result of failing to meet physical fitness requirements falls within one of the exceptions for revocation of transferred entitlement.
The deciding factor: The decision is being remanded due to insufficient evidence in the record regarding the circumstances surrounding the Veteran’s discharge from active duty 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.
