The Board has remanded the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left hip disability due to an inextricably intertwined issue with other claims. The case is being returned to the agency of original jurisdiction (AOJ) for further action.
The deciding factor: The left hip disability claim was found to be inextricably intertwined with other claims and thus remanded for further action.

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.
