The Board has determined that the RO's decision granting service connection for follicular lymphoma and TDIU is not subject to CUE, but has remanded the case due to new evidence received since the August 2014 rating decision.
The deciding factor: New evidence received since the August 2014 rating decision relates to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the underlying claim of entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea.

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.

- Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran was exposed to herbicide agents while stationed at Korat Air Force Base in Thailand, and therefore service connection for lymphoma is granted.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during service, and a VA examination is needed to determine if his follicular lymphoma is related to his military service.
- Dismissed
The Veteran withdrew his appeal for a higher rating for follicular lymphoma, and the Board dismissed it.
