The Board has remanded the issues of service connection for a cervical spine condition, bilateral hearing loss, and an acquired psychiatric disability (claimed as anxiety, major depression, and PTSD), as well as TDIU. The Veteran's claims are not decided herein.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the issues were inextricably intertwined with the remanded issues and thus required a remand for further 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.
