The Board has remanded the case for further development and consideration, including obtaining a VA examination to address the nature and etiology of the Veteran's unspecified vertiginous syndromes and labyrinthine disorders. The claim for service connection remains pending.
The deciding factor: The claims are being remanded due to the need for additional evidence and clarification regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed disabilities, specifically his unspecified vertiginous syndromes and labyrinthine disorders.

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.
