The Board has remanded the case for additional development regarding service connection for the cause of the Veteran’s death. The appellant contends that the Veteran had exposure to herbicide agents while stationed at Korat RTAFB, but this claim is being referred to JSRRC for verification.
The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient evidence to send the matter to JSRRC for verification regarding herbicide agent exposure and remanded the case for additional development.

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.
