The Board has reopened the Veteran's claim for service connection for a neurological disorder due to new and material evidence. The claims of service connection for peripheral vascular disease of the lower extremities (claimed as aortoiliofemoral disease) and for a neurological disorder are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that new and material evidence had been received sufficient to reopen the Veteran's claim for service connection for a neurological disorder, but the claims of peripheral vascular disease and neurological disorder need further examination and evaluation.

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.
