The Court has ordered remand, requiring the Board to consider new evidence and discuss specific records. The case is now returned to the AOJ for further review.

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.
