Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's tinea cruris is currently rated as 10 percent disabling. The Board has remanded the cases for further development, including obtaining complete service personnel records and considering whether there is a causal connection between the Veteran’s diabetes and thyroid cancer and his in-service duties.
The deciding factor: Further development is needed to determine if the Veteran's diabetes and thyroid cancer are related to his in-service duties.

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.
