The Board has remanded the claims for service connection due to insufficient evidence and need for additional development. The Veteran's claims are not granted as there is no current disability related to his service.
The deciding factor: There is no current disability found related to the Veteran's service, and further examination and evidence collection are needed to determine if any disabilities are related to service.

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.
