The Veteran's appeal for service connection for an eye disability has been withdrawn.,The issue of a compensable rating for Lyme disease remains denied, as the Veteran does not have active Lyme disease or its residuals.
The deciding factor: Active Lyme disease is not present in the Veteran's case. The Board finds that there are no residuals of the service-connected Lyme disease to warrant separate ratings.

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.
