The Veteran's claim for service connection is being remanded due to the need for additional medical examinations and records review.
The deciding factor: The claims are being remanded because there is insufficient evidence to determine if the Veteran's acquired psychological disorder and TBI are related to his military 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.
