The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for right and left hip disabilities due to persistent or recurrent symptoms of disability that may be associated with service.
The deciding factor: Persistent or recurrent symptoms of disability since the date of the Veteran’s claim in February 2017 warrant a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of any bilateral hip disability.

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.
