The Board has remanded the cases of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, a skin rash due to undiagnosed illness, and a right ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The claims were previously remanded by the Board but have not been fully addressed as per the June 2018 decision. The Veteran has not received adequate VA examinations in these cases.

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.
