The Veteran's claim for service connection for headaches is remanded due to the need for additional development and evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has provided a history of headaches during active duty, but further medical evidence is needed to determine if these symptoms are related to his military 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.
