Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's CVA with vertigo is rated as 10 percent disabling since March 1, 2009. The Board finds that a higher rating is not warranted.,Prior to April 8, 2016, the Veteran was granted a 30 percent rating for adjustment disorder with depressed and anxious features.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of evidence does not support a finding of more than occasional dizziness or staggering due to CVA.

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.
