The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding service connection for a right wrist disorder including CTS and an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for tinea versicolor. The Veteran's claims are pending.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded because the Board found that the November 2009 examiner’s opinion was inadequate to decide the claim, and requested another opinion considering the Veteran's reports of continuity of symptoms since service.

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.
