Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient information about the Veteran's exposure to radiation during service, which is necessary for determining whether his T-cell leukemia-lymphoma was incurred in service.
The deciding factor: Insufficient information regarding the Veteran's exposure to radiation during service prevents a determination on the claim.

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.
