Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the cases for additional examinations and opinions to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's neck condition, left hip condition, and bilateral hearing loss. The claims for service connection are not reopened due to lack of new and material evidence.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was not received to reopen the claim for service connection for a right hip condition.

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.
