The Board has remanded the Veteran's claim due to insufficient examination and opinions regarding his scrotal cysts, which may be related to service. The case will be returned for further development.
The deciding factor: The examination provided by VA did not address the Veteran’s scrotal cysts or their relationship to service, specifically bicillin administration.

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.
