The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's right leg disorder and its relationship to his service-connected lumbar spondylosis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is not enough information to determine if the Veteran’s right leg disorder is related to his service or service-connected condition, necessitating further examination and opinion.

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.
