The Board has denied service connection for sinus bradycardia due to the lack of a current disability. The claims for left eye trauma, fracture of the right femur, left knee joint disability, and right knee joint disability are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a current disability relating to his reported in-service sinus bradycardia or any other claimed conditions.

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.
